After years as kingpins of an Iron Age flock, two Soay rams - nicknamed Oddball and Dindins - are looking for pastures new. The curly horned twosome are making way for new blood in the flock at Castell Henllys Iron Age hillfort, near Newport, Pembrokeshire. The hillfort is run by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority and attracts over 30,000 visitors annually. A new ram and several ewes were brought in recently to bolster the 24-strong flock and Oddball and Dindins have lost their crown. Lloyd George, site warden at Castell Henllys, said that nearly all the remaining ewes were offspring of one or other of the rams. The rams, who weigh in around 30 kg, were both born and bred at Castell Henllys and Lloyd will be sad to see them go. "Both are great characters," he said. "Soays are very different to normal sheep in that they can run at 30 miles per hour and jump seven to eight feet high. Looking and running after them certainly keeps me fit. "They are ideal for breeding purposes or for an early retirement grazing big lawns or paddocks. They are low maintenance as they do not require shearing. "We want them to have good homes, either in well earned retirement or with a new flock." Anyone interested in purchasing the rams should contact Castell Henllys on 01239 891319 or telephone Lloyd George on 01239 891581 after hours. Castell Henllys is presently open Monday to Friday from 11 am to 3 pm.
