A new arrival at the farm, Lodgeway Ryelands & Nobut Manor Coloured Ryelands, Michael & his friend and business partner Steve have selected Ryelands of outstanding quality and pedigree to form their own flock. Ryeland sheep are a traditional British sheep breed. They  are well known for producing excellent quality lamb and great tasting meat. Hand spinners and weavers also like to use Ryeland wool for it texture and quality.

 

A friendly breed and lovely to walk amongst, unless you make a noise resembling a corn bucket, in which case their enthusiasm can be a little overwhelming!! Some favourites make sure they come for a fuss as soon as you enter the field and make their displeasure fully known if you haven’t been to see them for a few days!

​

February and March saw us welcome many single and twin lambs to the flock all doing well and enjoying the great British Springtime out in our fields with their mums. Some of our yearling ewes are now in the process of being halter trained in the anticipation that some county shows may be able to go ahead this year.
