2017 Lambing courses - the girls are in the lambing shed

Ryeland ewes in lambing shedThe Ryelands, Coloured Ryelands and Greyfaced Dartmoor ewes are all in the lambing sheds enjoyng the comforts.

Lambing courses at Oakberrow commence 7th February and the girls are lambing in a tight pattern so we are full on from then until the end of February.  This does help with lambing courses as we have more days available.

At Oakberrow we are very friendly and make everyone welcome.  The numbers on the courses are limited to 4 so we can ensure that you get the mnost out of the day with us and can go home happy and confident in dealing with the lambing of your own flock.

We do have dates available, please contact us if you wish to attend a Lambing Course.

Greyface dartmoor lamb - so cute!!The girls were all scanned earlier this week and we have lots of singles, twins and also three sets of triplets due from our gorgeous ryelands, coloured ryelands and greyfaced dartmoors.

Exciting times ahead as we have used some new rams this year.  Our latest purchase from Ann Rickson of Sunnyside Greyface Dartmoors with Seb is going to be a first time Dad with all the girls in lamb to him. 

Woody our new Coloured Ryeland ram lamb has three girls in lamb and one of these is having triplets.

On the Ryeland front we used four rams - Untouchable whom we used last year and was Best Stock Ram in the Flock competition.  Oakberrow Tornado had four girls.  Our ram lamb Winston who won best retained ram lamb in the flock competition and son of Untouchable has three girls in lamb to him and our latest ram to the flock Uncle Colin had the majority of the girls and is going to be father to two sets of triplets.
