Flock Number: 348059
The flock arrived on 1st August 2002, purchased Cobthorn Farm, Congresbury. The flock consisted of 1 ram, 6 ewes and a lamb born in 2002.
Spring 2003: 8 ewe lambs & 4 ram lambs. (6 sets of twins)
Spring 2004: 9 ewe lambs & 10 ram lambs. (7 sets of twins & 5 singles)
Spring 2005: 24 lambs (9 sets of twins and 6 singles). There were 16 ewe lambs and 8 ram lambs. However, we have sold 4 ewe lambs and 4 ram lambs.
Spring 2006: 23 lambs were born this year. Most have been sold, some with their mothers. They have gone to good homes where the occupants needed hardy low maintenance lawnmowers.
Spring 2007: only 12 lambs were born this year since we had sold many of our ewes last summer.
Summer 2008: 17 lambs came this spring. DEFRA caused problems: movement restrictions, so none have been sold yet.
Their grazing regime requires that they do not stay in one paddock for more than two weeks and that they do not return to a paddock for at least three weeks.
The ram lambs are entire, ie they have not been castrated. Even at 7 months old, they are already interested in the opposite sex!
NB We sell live animals as available; give us a ring on 01749 880841. The meat is really only for our own consumption.
