Suffolk Sheep

We cross many of our Suffolk ewes with Wiltshire rams to produce finished lambs and keep the ewe lambs on to make smart speckle faced breeding ewes. These, with a second cross of Wiltshire, will make a good breeding flock requiring no shearing. The best ewes are bred pure to produce eight or ten shearling rams a year for regular local farmer cusomers.
We have avoided going down modern route of breeding sheep with huge heads and excessive bone which our customers don't require. To this end we have sourced our most recent stud rams from Robyn Hume, which are 50% New Zealand blood and one also carries the double muscling gene (see picture below). Their lambs have bred exceedingly well in local commercial flocks. One ram buyer has won the cup for the best Suffolk sired lambs at Rugby market Christmas Show and also topped Rugby Market with Suffolk x Mule ewe lambs by our rams.
Pleased to report that our shearling rams sell at home by "word of mouth" without any advertising or having to take them to sales.
