Pedigree naturally-bred Swiss Blacknose Valais and pedigree Dorset sheep
Mable had her twins last week:
Lenny who would have been perfect had he not had a big black splodge 1/2 way up in his tail 🙄. So he has been wethered.
Lola a little ewe lamb who is missing 1 knee patch. Available at weaning. And will be registered and DNA tested.
Louis went off to his new home today……always sad when they leave especially when they are as special as Louis. 🥰.
Looking forward to see babies from him in the future and hopefully see him at future shows!
I have available the following looking for a new 🏡
SOLD. Louis, ram lamb, born January 24. Really affectionate. Perfectly marked. DNA tested and registered. Halter trained.
Lollipop, ewe lamb, born January 24. Really friendly but missing 1 front knee patch but a group 1. DNA tested and registered.
Lola, ewe lamb, born July 24. Different sire to Lollipop and will be available once weaned. Also missing 1 knee patch. Will be registered and DNA tested.
Whiterigg King Tut, shearling ram born Feb 23, perfectly marked, group 3. DNA tested and registered. Halter trained. Came 1st at Devon County.
These 3 have recently been sheared.
4 x valais cross ewe lambs born February 24. These have amazing fleeces.
All on Heptavac P system.
Please message for more information
Yesterday I took a road trip to collect this rather beautiful ram lamb. Thank you to Sarah at Maybrook Valais for letting me have him he really is beautiful and Louis is a little in love with him. Unfortunately he won’t be white too long with our red soil! Welcome little Lloyd 🥰
He also got 4th place at the show yesterday in a strong class of 13
Kip who went off to Scotland earlier this year is now a Dad and what a cracker this little tup is. I hear some more lambs are in the way so he has been a busy boy!
Couldn’t resist buying this from my first lot of “winnings” to use as a splash back in the shepherds hut. Just in case you were wondering first prize was £32! 😂😂
A bit slow with the results from Bath and West show as I got the lurgy immediately on return 🙄😷
The only lamb I took was Louis who got 4th in ram lamb - the judge did comment saying he will be a smashing ram.
Jubilee who got 5th In shearling ewe (there was a lot in this class and the judge said he couldn’t take his eyes off her 🥰) and jinx was the judge’s favourite apparently according to Susie 😂
We got 1st place with the group of 3
I decided not to enter the wool section this time.
It was all about learning as to what each judge likes as being new to this we are still learning as this was our second showing and first time in some classes 🤦♀️
Last class this morning- 1st in “wool on the hoof” in valais class then reserve champion in the “long wool” wool on the hoof.
So this happened yesterday I entered 3 classes and first time showing and got a 1st at Devon County for shearling ram with King Tut and 5th with Louis in the ram lamb class. One more class to enter tomorrow (wool)
The boys had a hair cut - I have fleece if anyone is interested?
Spot the 2 clean ones
Lottie having a bath 🥰
Lottie 🥰
Lofty. Louis. King Tut - bath time for 2
Molly had her lamb yesterday - and we have had a swop of named - she is called Lollipop and looks like she left one of her front knee patches in the womb 🙄
Martha’s lamb is now called Ladybug
Kip went off to his new home today - hopefully in the future there will be baby Kips 🥰
Lofty 1 week old - getting heavy! With mum Mindy
Show prep today…..shearing for some
Martha and Lollipop
Mindy and Lofty also enjoying the sunshine
Nellie and Loki and boy (Still undecided Louie, Leroy, Lionel or ?). Enjoying the ☀️ today
Mindy had her lamb early yesterday morning and boy was it cold 🥶 at that time - he was a big long lamb I did think he should be called Longfellow or Little John 😂. Anyway he will be a wether as he left his front knee patch in the womb 🙄. He needs a name and I still haven’t named the other boy yet.
Here he is a couple of hours old
Martha just lambed a perfect little girl - ladybug or lollipop or lady gaga 🥰. More photos to follow as she was busy fussing!
A little video this morning but will take better photos in a few days..
And so it begins…..
Nellie had twins late yesterday afternoon- one of each and both perfect
Looking for names beginning with L
So far we like
Laddie, leonardo, Levi, Luigi.
And for her Lassie, Lola, lollipop, Lottie…
The girls are lucky to be in with this non-stop rain ☔️
I did these videos last weekend and forgot to post them
Had a busy week - all sheep and alpacas were heptavac (1st injections for some) and wormed and fluked all. We also had delivery of Peanut who came to us after loosing his companion. He is a youngster and quite funny, halter trained and loves a neck rub! Now I have 3 I need help walking them - any volunteers? With the 2 girls as well of course 🐏

The girls - Jinx and Jubilee are so good at halter training now - here they are on a walk with the alpacas and no biscuits were involved 😂
Busy few weeks with family but first time taking Jinx and Jubilee out on harnesses - they were both really good but Jinx did have a little tantrum at the end…….maybe because we ran out of biscuits 😂 Emma Quick
I can’t resist sharing this video of jasper 🥰. He loves his little dog friend and his new home 🥰
The girls always love their hay
The girls when they were younger- up to mischief!
Jacko and Jinx 🥰
Jazz was a bit excited and wanted to play with the 2 alpacas
Love these sheep they are the best 🥰
Jacko went off to his new home last week and his new owner took him out on a lead - apparently he is a natural 🥰 They are going to show him in the wether class - I will update you with how he gets on
