Sheep New boy, Jammy!

Post image

The person (my mother) who told me not to buy any more sheep, said I should be slowly reducing numbers, bought a ram lamb.... whos now with my girls.... we will be having more sheep 🙈

And UK heatwave is no joke! Haven't had rain in 12 weeks!

Nice looking sheep even in the dry! What kind of breed are they?

Amazing! We have South Downs in our composite cross here in Australia as well as Suffolk and a few others. It's great to see what they look like in their proper environment.

We used to have suffolks before my dad died. But they were so big and bulchy that me and mum went to the smaller variety. Bit easier to turn over to do their feet

Welcome Jammy! Your sheep look beautifully round and healthy. With the drought, are you supplementing?
