My flock originates from 2 ex.show sheep bought at Dick Wilson’s dispersal sale. Dick was a well known and respected herdwick sheep breeder in Patterdale. I buy some of the best ram available each year and bloodlines used descend from Kevin Wrathall, Stanley Jackson and Anthony Hartley.
My sheep live in fields around the house, they have never been on the fell. They are quiet, easy to handle, and respect fences. All I need is a bucket or a pocket of nuts to move them around the farm. Being docile my sheep make an ideal starter flock.
During September/October I have a few ewes with an unrelated shearling ram for sale. Homebred individual ewes or small groups of ewes are available, also individual shearling rams. These have been bred from registered rams tested through the National Scrapie plan. The breeding season starts at the end of October, the lambs being born 150 days later in March/April.
Being slow to mature, herdwick meat is very tasty, - wether lambs are available on the hoof from August.
I also have Herdwick semen available; U.S.A. export quality.
