Sheep and
Lambs
We have been breeding Wiltshire Horn sheep for five years now and
supply lamb for food and ewes and rams for breeding. The Wiltshire
Horn is a breed of domestic sheep, unusual amongst native British
breeds, for it has the unusual feature of moulting its short wool
and hair coat naturally in spring, alleviating the need for
shearing.
The Wiltshire Horn was, until the 18th century, one of southern
England's predominant sheep breeds. However, the rising price of
wool and a general move away from horned sheep saw the breed suffer
a dramatic decline throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.
It was nearly extinct at the start of the 1900s and until recently
was placed on the list of rare and threatened breeds. However,
there are now 300 recognised flocks in the UK and the breed is now
thriving.
If you would like to order lamb for your freezer then we sell meat
in half lamb portions (£80) per half and this is generally
available in May of each year.
Please get in touch if you would like to buy young sheep ewes and
rams for breeding yourself. We also have a beautiful 18 month old
ram which we are looking to SWAP with a similar ram.
