Our ewes were all born within June-July 2024 with a range of twins, triplets and two who were quads. They were all vaccinated with Glen-Ery with a booster 4 weeks later, they also received their Gudair vaccine for Johnes and also received pain relief at marking. They also have received their annual booster in June last year. The ewes were all weaned onto bean stubbles and kept on these until March 2025 . They were then kept at home run on pasture since with only minimal grain feeding just through the first part of autumn when there was no feed available. They will be flushed with lupins for 2 weeks prior to sale ready for joining. The ewes were shorn on the 8th Of October 2025. They will all be drenched with Q-Drench prior to sale.
The ewes have been through multiple cullings so only the best are left, they are all a blank slate being young maiden ewes and could breed the house down so every ewe is an opportunity at a top animal. The ewe base these animals come from has been built up over a 15 year period and we have only selected the best we can find in both dams and sires and no amount has been spared in achieving the type of sheep we are after. We strive for animals with a strong suffolk type, big ears and dark black heads and have the carcase that will benefit the commercial industry and take the breed forward whilst also maintaining structure and balance.
We are also selling commercial ewes, in three lots, two lots of 5 and one of 6. We have the tag numbers of these ewes as well if anyone requires them. There are some fantastic ewes in these lots although they have been classed as the 2nd grade of ewes they are also eligible to be registered, although the buyer must pay for the transfer fees.
