Swap Meet on Sunday

I'm posting this for an attendee to the fest:)

Wanted:
To swap a CVM breeding sheep for a Border collie pup

CVM's (California Variegated Mutants, aka: Romeldale/CVM's) are a very rare breed. They are listed as critically endangered by the ALBC (American Livestock Breed Conservancy). They are a medium-sized sheep and come in many different colors, shades and patterns. The ewes are good mothers of fast-growing lambs, good foragers and grow fine fleece with three to five inch staple length. These fleeces are ideal for hand-spinning. The CVM's are from a hand spinner's flock. The choices available are: a moorit ram lamb, a black mouflon ram lamb or a grey/black ewe lamb. All are registered with ARCA.

I'm looking for a young pup Border Collie out of working herding bloodlines, not necessarily trial bloodlines. A female is desirable. This pup will be trained to herd a flock of 25 to 35 free ranging sheep.
