Wanted: a new home for Noddy the dwarf ram

THE hunt is on to find the father of a dwarf ram that is believed to be the only one of its kind in Ireland.

Noddy, who was born on a farm in south Sligo last summer, now resides on a farm in Clonbur owned by sheep farmer Paddy Rock.

Measuring 80cm long by 50cm high, Noddy is nine months old and is unlikely to grow any larger.

Paddy is hoping that if Noddy’s father can’t be tracked down, he will be adopted by a farmer who can take care of him long term.
