OUR SHEEP
At present we have six different sheep breeds on the farm, and a few crosses resulting from any combination of these six. One of our central interests is in fibre production and two of our main breeds, the Gotlands and Teeswaters, are breeds whose wool is unusual and wonderful for spinning and crafting.
​
Our other breeds are Dorset Downs, the traditional Dorset breed, on the UK Native Breeds at Risk List, the Poll Dorset and Dorset Horn (also rare). We also have some Easycares and a few Lleyns. The Easycares have been developed for straightforward lambing and resilience and they don't require shearing, which allows us to spend more time taking care with the wool breeds.
