Where can I buy a pet sheep to keep at home?

[JonnyBoy12]

I would really like to know where I can buy a sheep as a pet in the United Kingdom. Would I buy one at a market as I am sure that pet shops would not have them? How much would one cost as well? I have heard the figure of £80 mentioned. One person who keeps one was not allowed to take it on a bus I understand.

I thank you for your speedy and helpful answers, folks.

Don`t want to push it too far Eccles. Abers have good memories! :-)

Ramsgate is a good place to buy sheep. Anymore than 80 quid and you'll have been fleeced.

Groan, lol.

keeping a single sheep as a domestic pet is cruel!

please consider supporting local animal charities instead? x

Ha ha, very funny, albaqwerty. I am very glad to see you are not 'sheepish' in answering my question. I think you are correct in saying one sheep would be very lonely on its' own and people would think that I have more than one use for the sheep.

May have to rethink my options on this one but thanks for your kind and understanding answers.

It's more upmarket than Ramsbottom :-D

Thanks for your kind and thoughtful answers, folks. I have taken your advice about not having a lone sheep but decided to get a pet chimp instead.

Where can I get one of these and how much can I expect to pay?

Ewe better be monkeying around a chimp isnt a pet its like a banana skin a slippery slope to disaster

Personally I'd have gone with the sheep (in a manner of speaking)

Michael Jackson's estate? Might get a bargain.

Buying a monkey is a bit of a puzzle

Stick to sheep in the plural. After all what are ewe going to do when one is on her monthly.

Forget the chimps - the are evil and vicious. They are our closest relatives!

You do know a chimp will turn round and bite your head off once it's grown out of its shorts and T-shirt don't you?

[wolf63]

Some of the attacks by chimps on humans have been gory and pretty nasty.

Glad you've gone off the idea of a pet sheep. They can be pretty pricey...
