We hand shear our sheep and hand cut their hooves using no electric shears, chemical dips or chemical sprays just a home brew of garlic & peppermint spray with a bit of Stockholm tar if needed in the summer to deter fly strike and keep our meats chemical free, healthy and delicious.
Rooted in centuries of farming heritage, this slow, precise method protects the animal's delicate skin and prevents summer overheating.
Given that this takes time and a lot of work it helps to keep our flock small and easy to handle.
We've very near plans to introduce Easy Care sheep to the farm, this breed sheds their own wool, lambing is easier and foot care is less, allowing us to increase our flock and reduce our workload slightly.
Meanwhile our ladies are keeping cool with their pedicures and we're using their wool to suppress weeds in the orchard.
