HAPPY 2025 - LAMBING DATES AND COURSES

At Oakberrow we start lambing mid February and the ewes are looking well.  We are lambing Blue Texels, Coloured Ryelands and Ryelands.  The Ryelands will be lambing the latest.

We have been running lambing courses for many years and all our students have been really pleased with the course and have gone home with confidence for when they start lambing.

We love meeting new sheep breeders and passing on our wisdom and experience in working with sheep for over 30 years.

If you would like to come along to Oakberrow for a course, please do get in touch and we can sort out a suitable date.
