GUNDOG TRAINING AT OAKBERROW

Myself and Steve have trained dogs, in particular gundogs, for over 40 years and have great experience in this field.  

All the dogs at Oakberrow work out in the shooting field in the season picking up.  

This is a great time of year to get that training done before the shooting season, or if you just want to have an obedient dog so you can enjoy taking them walks, then come along to Oakberrow.

So we would cover walking on a lead (without pulling), basic obedience and then if you did want to learn about training your dog for the shooting field we can cover that as well.  As we have mostly HPR breeds here then covering all the skills that tthese dogs have can be taught here.  

Basically we would be teaching you.  If interested, please do get in touch - 07971675162 or email dsg.oakberrow@gmail.com

NATIONAL RYELAND SHOW AND BURWARTON SHOW MEMORIES

National Ryeland Champion 2016We are living in strange times these days with the Covid-19 virus.  

Our life here at Oakberrow during August has been a particularly busy time showing the Ryelands and Coloured Ryelands at the two of the prestigious shows in the agricultural world. 

We are missing them but it is great to reflect back on the great success we have had in the past years.  2016 bringing us the National Ryeland Champion with our shearling ewe.  The Ryeland National show is hosted by Tenbury Show.  Then in 2018 we had Reserve Interbreed Champion with our Ryeland Shearling Ram Widgits Xemplar and in 2019 Champion Coloured Ryeland with Rimini Yoda.

Miss catching up with all our sheep friends and the fun and antics that take place around the lines and in the Bar.  

Looking forward to 2021 in the hope that the shows will be back and we can get out there once again showing our quality stock.

LAMBING STARTS ON 4TH FEBRUARY - still some space available for lambing courses

Feeding in the barnThe weather has been dreadful, but the expectant girls are all safely tucked up in the barn.  They enjoyed the last few frosty days.

The first ewe to lamb will be one of our shearling Greyface Dartmoors who is expecting a single.  It is always very exciting waiting for the first lamb to appear.

If interested we do still have a few spaces available for lambing courses.  So why not come along to Oakberrow and learn about lambing and hopefully you will go home with more confidence when it comes to your lambing time.

Love to hear from you and any questions, please ask.  01531 640102/07971675162 or dsg.oakberrow@gmail.com

LAMBING COURSES 2020 - DATES ANNOUNCED

ryeland lambsThe girls have all been scanned and delighted with results - plenty of twins and singles and two sets of triplets.  We will be lambing Ryelands, Coloured Ryelands, Greyface Dartmoors and a couple of Texels.

Lambing will commence from 4th February 2020 and for the whole month, which gives us great flexibility for lambing course dates.  We do not restrict to weekends but also do during the week and numbers are limited to four people per course.  

The day starts at 10am and we would normally finish about 4pm, but this is dependent on what is happening in the lambing shed.

Lunch is provided and you have a take-away information pack.

To book your day please contact either Steve or Doreen by email - dsg.oakberrow@gmail.com or phone and have a chat on 01531 640102 or 07971675162.

If you are travelling far there are a number of very good B&Bs in the area.
