Our ewes started lambing late August 2017.

So far it has been smooth with no nasty weather events.

“Mr McLeod”,Egilshay 45/14, is the sire of the first batch of lambs.

Then about the 10th Sept, ewes, sired by Blackdale 518/15, will start lambing.

Only ewes, who have free lambed and reared their lamb/s successfully, are retained in the flock.

We are aiming for sheep, which are quiet, have good mothering ability, scan & rear twins (subjected to severe storms).

The sheep also must structurally sound confirmation with sloping shoulders, meaty back ends and active.
