Laura

We bought Laura as a ewe lamb from Michele Varmen of the Snelson Coloured Ryeland flock.  Laura pretty much insisted we buy her when we were there looking at Michele’s other stock for sale.  Laura would constantly stand in front of us, nibble, nudge and cuddle up. So we had to take her! We are […]

Rachel

Rachel is a lovely ewe lamb we bought from Michele Varmen of the Snelson Coloured Ryeland flock. She is going to be a tremendous ewe once fully matured as she has such a huge range over her back, she really does stand over a lot of ground.  This terrific length is one of strengths that […]

Twinnie

Twinnie, obviously a twin! She was only a couple of weeks old when we agreed to buy her from Michele Varmens of the Snelson Coloured Ryeland flock, so it was quite some time for us to wait until she was old enough to wean before we could collect her. She is a character and very […]

Snelson Winnie

Our first purchase from Michelle Varmen from up North.  Bought as a shearling ewe, we are very excited to see what Winnie will produce when crossed with our Smeafield rams. She is a very solid ewe, broad and yet compact, lovely temperament, the most vocal of everyone and a really good pedigree.  Including her grandsire […]

Baaaabara

I know I shouldn’t but I have to confess with the faintest hairs breadth Baaaaabara is my favourite. She came from the same flock as Gale and she is very much the matriarch. Not so much in an aggressive way, although she can head butt the others if they challenge her. But more so in […]

Gale

Gale

Gale was in the first group of Coloured Ryelands we bought from Cardigan in Wales. She was the first one we named as we were just heading back over the Severn Bridge from Wales having collected them as Storm Abigail hit the South West. Gale is our biggest ewe and is a lovely character. She […]

Titch-2

Titch

Titch completes the third of our original group from Cardigan. Titch was much smaller than the others and was just a bit of an oddball. But she has grown up and caught up and is almost on a parr with the others. She keeps herself to herself and is in her own little world much […]

Marble-2

Marble

Marble completes the last of our trio we bought from Abergavenny. One of the reasons we chose her was not only did we think she was nicely put together, she is very correct with a super natural flat back. But also her fleece had a lovely marble effect, and yes that’s how we named her […]

Dotty

Introducing Dotty – not the best photo but one that shows you how we named her! Dotty is ditsy….. she has taken the longest to get friendly. She has only recently just started to eat from your hand, she would hang around at the back of the group and was just a bit more untrusting […]
