Relaxed FarmingWhy keep sheep... (as answered by Mrs White). Sheep and smallholdings go together like... chips and tomato ketchup, kids and their mobile phones, lamb and mint sauce (whoops, should I have said that?). And why? Smallholdings have grass and we LOVE grass.

  • Grass is good for us: Read more

  • We keep things tidy and help prevent erosion: Read more

  • Spring lamb is one of your favourite meats: Read more

  • Every year we produce a fabulous wooly fleece: Read more

  • We don't need much additional feeding: Read more

  • We are easy to handle: Read more

  • We also make great pets: you may think sheep run away from humans (and dogs) but actually we enjoy your company and love a good head scratch as much as the goats do.

    We will feed from your hands and come to you when called, and if you sit down with us we may even lie at your feet!! Yes, we are soppy!!!

We really enjoy a good chuckle
