January is a time to prepare over 650 sheep so they are fully healthy and ready for lambing. We will bring them in from the fields home to the farm where they will have a lovely stay in the barns until their lambs are born. Here they will be cared for and fed all the nutrients needed to see them through the next few weeks.

A time where the lucky sheep have their yearly hair cut with our favourite shearers. Shearing is really important so that the sheep keep cool and stress free. This also helps reduce infestations and allows their fleece to grow ready for insulating them through the winter.
