Sheep from the Gaerllwyd flocks These are some of our sheep on the smallholding over the years. Colour and variety are important in our breeding plan, ensuring maximum genetic mix and trying to ensure nothing is lost. If you’d like to use any of these shots, please contact me.
St Kilda in the Scottish Isles Here are some of the photos taken by myself and friends during my four trips to the Islands of St Kilda. Hirta is the only island where it is possible to land. The photos of sheep on Boreray were taken from a boat which got as near as possible…
We bring our elderly ewes in to the barn for the winter. Some are over 15 years old, and may struggle with arthritic joints if left outside. Indoors they are penned within their family groups, or individually where size difference might result in weaker individuals having less access to food.
We’ve started putting hay into the feeders so the sheep with fewer teeth can browse. The older ewes and rams are receiving small amounts of supplementary feed because they need to keep in good condition before the winter draws in.
Windy and rainy here with a splash of sunshine! We’re preparing for winter now, so we are making sure the outdoor field shelters are in good shape for the forthcoming months.
