Our Northern Ram Sale is only a few weeks away - Friday 29th August 2025! Come along for a beer, a catch-up and see some quality rams at the Wellshot Hotel in Ilfracombe!

723 bales for the year and approx 23,000 sheep shorn between our properties, now everyone is exhausted! Ewes are in great order and ready to lamb next month, wether lambs are being finished on oats crops and rams are being prepared for our upcoming Northern Sale. It’s all a big effort but rewarding with the dual-purpose ability of our Merinos to be able to make the most of the high lamb and mutton markets as well as income from our yearly wool clip. Merinos are kicking goals!

Mustering, all sheep crutched, all lambs weaned & ewe hoggets and CFA ewes shorn, all done in 8 very hot days for our commercial flock at Woodstock. Thanks team for the big effort!
We continue to shear our ewe hoggets at 6 months as we get in return increased growth rates, higher conception percentages and more wool growth which all means more $$$

Busy times here lately but we are making the most of fantastic yields, high lamb prices and a great lambing so far. We finished harvest last weekend with all of our hay and grain storage full and have since been continuing to truck out finished wether lambs as we get to the tail end of our mob, and have begun lamb marking. So far we have marked up to 145% which is a fantastic lambing result in this environment. Here’s some snaps from the past few weeks 🌱
