Meet some of our happy sheep

Ewes are bred at twelve months with selection on early growth and development. Even the young Mums make great, protective mothers.

Broccoli is one of more photogenic lambs, always making time to stop and smile for the camera.

Little Miss Sally and Joey were the smallest of triplet sets and were getting pushed out by their bigger siblings, so we took them in and bottle fed them. We have had many poddy lambs over the years lucky enough to be picked up and loved by our kids.

Bacon and Egg are examples of some half grown lambs. With even neat coats and prime structures, Bacon and egg are good examples of what can be expected from Newbury Wiltipoll. (Horse not included).

One of our ewes with a set of triplets: Baahrney, Ewenice and Gordon. Triplets are less common than the usual twins or singles, but these mothers are typically very good at ensuring none are left behind.

Wool shedding typically finishes around late spring. Lambs tend to retain their wool in the first year. Because the wool breaks at a low point, they maintain a short layer of hair that will look neater and continue to protect them from the sun.
