A mix of Shetland, Hebridean and Manx Loaghtan sheep arriving at Kielder to do some scrub control grazing before the midges arrive for the summer.
We will have some of our 2 yr old shearling lambs for sale over the next couple of months available ready for the freezer as either half or whole lambs. If you would like more information please contact us via the Lamb for Sale page.
3 Highlands including a young white calf have returned to graze the meadow at Silverlink this spring. Although to day he was a little camera shy!
The last day for receiving lamb orders for delivery for the winter season will be Friday 21st November. We can still take orders after this date for delivery in the spring, usually early April.
With autumn well and truly here it’s time for the Soays to move from their summer home at Powhill back to their winter grazing site on the Northumberland coast.
Some gentle coaxing with a bucket of feed (thanks for your help Anne) and Jess creeping up behind them meant they were persuaded to behave relatively well this year! It’s always a relief to get them loaded as they have a mind of their own and can be quite a handful on occasion.
The only downside being I had forgotten my camera and had to make do with my old phone! Shame really as it was a beautiful morning with the fog lifting.
The sheep have returned to graze the Michaelmas daisy on the Snook on Holy island once more, time to dig out the tide timetables again!
With autumn approaching our shearling lambs are now becoming ready for sale. We will have regular batches going through between now and early December. If you would like to purchase half a lamb please contact us via our webpage.
A big thank you to all those who came along and helped with the shearing this year. Here are a few photos from a ‘shearer’s eye’ view of work in progress.
All the sheep are now nice and cool in the warm weather and I can work on standing up straight again!!
