NSA South Sheep 2012
Iveagh Farm, Upper Lambourne, Hungerford, Berkshire
Wednesday 13th June

Believe it or not the sun was shining for most of the day at Upper Lambourne with not a rain drop in sight. The event was held on a 916 hectare unit with 600 head of Hartline ewes.

The event was well attended with many enquiries made. It was also a great chance to meet Lleyn breeders in the area. There was much positivity with people looking forward to the future. Derek Bond the Southern Breeders Club Chairman supplied the sheep, including a 7 year old ewe with twins, 2 year old homebred ram and four beautiful shearling ewes.

Cyfieithiad Cymraeg Welsh Welcome

Lleyn sheep originate from the Lleyn peninsula in Wales and until recently were a relatively unfamiliar breed of sheep in the UK.
Over the past 10 years the Lleyn breed has caught the eye of many farmers, and now Lleyn sheep can be found almost all over Britain & Ireland. Farmers soon find that the Lleyn is an ideal ewe, quiet in nature, prolific, has great maternal instincts, milky & will not eat you out of house and home. The Lleyn fits in to many situations and its versatility suits both lowland and upland grazing.
