Celebrating 50 Years of the Lleyn Sheep Society in 2020
The Lleyn are Respected in LincolnshireTP Radford - Daniel Rowbottom
When Daniel started at Holme Farm he straight away had to role his sleeves up. He had little knowledge of sheep but made it his goal to learn. There was already a flock of Lleyn ewes, Daniel went to Suffolk to buy a further 150 to bring the flock up to 450. They now lamb 550 ewes. There is 1500 acres of which 1000 are arable, 400 acres grassland and 100 acres of woodland. There is a separate arable team and a full time game keeper. Daniel is the sole worker with the livestock although contract help is brought in at lambing time and busy periods. Daniel says the Lleyn are respected on this farm, they are considered to be ewes that just get on with the job, they are maternal and milky and suit the system. Read more [HERE]
