The girls and boys have done us proud with 31 set of twins, 15 singles and one set of triplets due from end of January.  We are lambing the following breeds - Ryelands, Coloured Ryelands, Blue Texels and Greyface Dartmoor.

For the courses we limit the number of attendees to a maximum of 4 per day and the cost includes lunch, refreshments and a pack to take home with you.  Cost £95 per person.  We are happy to make the course bespoke to your requirements.

Ryeland National Champion - Oakberrow eweLambing is over at Oakberrow.  It has gone well for all the breeds and we are really excited about looking at the lambs to see who is going to be our star or should I say stars to join the Shows Team for 2019.
