SOUTHDOWN SHEEP
Polled, docile sheep. We run a virtually closed flock and any incoming sheep are quarantined for three months and go onto our flock health plan. We breed only from registered pedigree sheep good in feet, teeth, udder and conformation. All ewes suffering from prolapse, ringwomb, dystocia (requiring assistance to lamb), mastitis or poor milk yield have been culled out each year leaving now only the very best stock and making lambing easier year-on-year.
Ewe and ram lambs can be reserved now for collection after weaning in July 2012.
Rams will be available for purchase and hire from October 2012. Southdown rams are particularly useful for ue on hoggets of hill and mountain breeds and for Ryeland flocks where a ram is not wanted on the holding for the rest of the year. Ram hire can be booked now.
LARGE FOWL POULTRY
All sold for this year. Orders can be placed now for eggs, chicks, growers and point-of-lay fowl in 2012. The breeds available will be Silver Grey Dorking, Gold, Blue and Buff Laced Wyandotte, Double Laced Barnevelder and Lavender Araucana.
TURKEYS
We have a breeding group of rare breed Narragansett turkeys - these have spectacular iridescent bronze plumage tipped with white and black. Stags weigh in at 15kg, which is more than most ovens can cope with! Orders can be placed now for hatching eggs, chicks and growers.
PIGS
We have two home-bred gilts from the very rare Princess Freda bloodline. These will go to the boar in July and we hope to offer piglets for sale in Winter 2012. Please let us know if you wish to reserve gilts or boars as available.
