April 2021

Our first 3 ewes have lambed giving us 2 sets of twins and a single. We have Brenda and Bear, Bunny, Buster and Beano who are all doing well and thriving.

February 2022

Our 3 ewes gave us 1 set of twins and 2 singles. Connie, Coco, Ceasar and cleopatra are doing absolutely amazing!

February 2023

Our girls have been great this year!

They have had 3 sets of twins and 2 singles, we have twin boys named Dapper and Diamond Geezer, another set of twin boys named Dusty and Dandy, twin girls called Diamond and Destiny, a single called Diva and last – but certainly not least! – a single called Dora.

We cant wait to see what 2024 has in stock!

February 2024

We unfortunately, did not have a good time lambing this year, due to a majority of the Ewes losing their lamb, however we had a majority of ewe lambs, and 1 ram lamb. We are hopeful for next year lambing to go more in our favour!

Our tup lamb, Enzo, has stayed with us due to having a very excellent quality fleece, good bones, good length, and good confirmation, and are looking to use him next year.


2024 tupping 

We have used two tups this year between 11 ewes, both of the tups, Draco, and Commander are new to us, and to tupping, they have both seemed to mark the ewes successfully within the 1st day.

Draco, is an exciting Tup, as he is new to our Coloured Ryeland Flock, and he is from white parents, which brings new bloodlines to the Coloured. 

Fingers crossed for scanning!
