I run a flock of mixed non-registered sheep, the combination produces a range of colours (brown, white, mixed) and soft fleeces that are pleasing on the eye and useful for spinning and crafts etc. I make rugs and felting from the fleeces. The primitive genes (herdwick, shetland, ryeland crosses) give them hardiness and the commercial genes (suffolk, mules, texels) give them weight and docility - many are double muscled on the rear legs from the Beltex tup (should you want meat for the freezer at the end of the summer).
I have ewe lambs from last year for sale, or ewes with lambs at foot. Pics can be provided or better still why not arrange a visit to see what is available?

Thanks to everyone who expressed an interest, but the ewe lambs are now all sold.
Best Wishes
