Our Sheep
We have kept Merino sheep for several years and just recently we have invested in some stud Wiltshire Horn sheep. These are a meat breed that are able to shed their own wool. We are currently in the proccess of applying for our Wiltshire Horn Stud Registration.
"
Wiltshire Horn Sheep are a hardy meat sheep with an ancient heritage which may date back to Roman times. The breed is characterised by high quality meat production and the ability to shed its wool eliminating the need for shearing, crutching and controversial mulesing.
Wiltshire Horns have high fertility, good mothering, large frames often with long bodies, good muscling, lean meat, intelligence, ability to do relatively well in poor conditions, horns in both rams and ewes, and wool that is naturally shed in Spring.
All of those features make them suitable for many different enterprises. They are very popular with small farmers. People often come to Wiltshires because the shedding means that you don't need to find shearers for a small flock, but then they stay with them when they discover all of the other breed features that make them ideal for the family farm."
