August 2016
We have a good selection of Texel, Blue Texel and Lleyn Shearling Rams for sale to suit all purposes and all budgets. The majority of the sheep are Signet recorded and we do have several top quality High Index rams with excellent figures.
We have both both white Texels and Blue Texels, (lighter in bone with narrow heads, ideal for first time lambers) and some Lleyns. Farmers who have bought the Blue texels have been very pleased with the carcase conformation of their lambs and the easy lambing.
Our white Texels are bigger animals, but we produce a lighter headed, easy lambing commercial ram, and our buyers come back on a regular basis because they are very satisfied with the stock.
A couple of older rams we have bred may also be available from a dispersing flock.
All the flock is High Health Status.
