Thinking about elderly animals

Animal Health, Seasonal ThoughtsBy tog2 November 2020

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.

Winter feed

Animal Health, Seasonal ThoughtsBy tog2 November 2020

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.

Hello from Gaerllwyd!

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.

Our Sheep

Whatever your needs may be – a starter flock, loan of a top-notch ram, addition of new colours or breeding lines into your existing flock, or a group of wethers to graze your pasture – we are here to help.

Attention to animal welfare and integrity in our breeding programme is of the utmost importance to us.  It makes care for these sheep a pleasure.  

These are rewarding, ancient breeds.  They are prized for their role in conserving the diversity of British livestock.

Use the tabs to read more about each breed.   

Our T&Cs etc are here.
