Its time for the rams to go in and this year we have four breeding groups. We have borrowed lovely Wilbur for our Llanwenog ewes and are using our own Rowan again on our castlemilk moorit ladies. We found that the Ryeland /Cotswold cross was very successful two years ago so this year we are putting a Ryeland ram with the Cotswold ewes and a Cotswold ram with the Ryelands, it will be interesting to see the differences in each cross.
Nelly the sheepdog has just turned one and suddenly her training seems to be coming together. She is getting more confident and settled and really seems to be getting the hang of things thanks to the expert tuition of Alison Smith who is fantastic and is really bringing out the best in our little dog.
