The new lambing year starts here

We are breeding only from 10 Hill Radnor ewes this year, and aim to slowly build our flock from our own replacements. Once the present Tup's daughter ewes are over two years we will replace him with the young ram we are bringing on at the moment.




Hey up, who's this


The new kid on the block, our tup is introduced to the ewes for the first time since last autumn.




A quick getting to know you time




And we're off, a new season starts




Job done, nice green mark on her back shows all is well. One down 9 to go.

It is important now not to run the ewes around for about two weeks or they could loose the embryo before it is set.
