Thinking about buying Hebrideans?

If you are thinking about buying Hebridean sheep, there are a few things to consider.

  • Registered stock will have a metal ear tag engraved 'HEB.SS' on one side, with the individual registration number, e.g. 0123 plus year of birth e.g. /10 for 2010, on the other side. The complete ear tag would read HEB.SS 0123/10
  • Registered stock will have a yellow A4 registration document, and both the registration number and ear-tag numbers on this should agree with the tags in the animal’s ears.
  • You must be handed the tear-off portion at the bottom of this document when purchasing your sheep.
  • Hebridean sheep sold as 'pure-bred' but without the registration document or registration ear-tag are probably not registered and probably cannot be registered retrospectively.
  • Hebridean sheep can only be registered by the 'breeder' and only if they are the progeny of fully registered parents.

If you have any queries, please contact the Registration Secretary by email at: registrations@hebrideansheep.org.uk or by telephone on 01270 780 583.

EXPORT OF HEBRIDEAN SHEEP: please note that the HSS is not able to mediate the export process, and any arrangements for export of Hebridean sheep must be made directly betwen the purchaser and vendor.
