Hi amcnab. Could you give us a ring on 01970 828236 and we'd be happy to discuss your needs with you. Thanks

Currently 15 out of 23 breeding partner flocks transfer ram lambs to 5 grower units, the rest grow the rams on themselves. We try to rationalise the number of sites so that vet checks can be done easier and all rams aligned onto the same vaccination status. The grower units vary but are all...

That’s because the texelburger is flavoured with lovely grain and cabbage and has hours spent making into a perfect little round ball. Let’s wait and see which will have shelf space in ten years time.

We would love to kill these creatures sooner but as Tim rightly says, sheep change as the break teeth etc. Around 65% of lambs born alive go into winter with 50% getting to vet MOT’s in June. As stated another 5% don’t make the grade to sell. I’m sure breeders out there achieve better...

Good suggestion NZDan, we are doing just that with a long standing customer that has recorded 5 year old Aberdale Romney ewes which have proven themselves. An injection of Romney into our Aberdale program is no bad thing in any case. Just need to make sure the health profile is ok before we...

We will be in touch regarding the Aberdale numbers Frank, and will find a way of getting you rams, the last thing we want is to hinder your supply replacement females to customers. Understand your frustration with using Inverdale in a closed flock scenario, it can be done, but involves...

We have always monitored the Forum threads Neil and really do respect people's views, irrespective of how different they are to our own, and will only input if there is inaccurate comments being posted. We are very aware of the 'stick' we will get but it's no different to what we already receive...

As stated, under half of the Highlanders at Carlisle were sold (11 out of 25) but that's inevitable at certain sales, they are allocated to customers that couldn't make the day. Our pricing is based on a value proposition not on current market forces as rams last a long time - we know this as...

The Aberdale is a Texel (British and NZ genetics) carrying the Inverdale gene, selected for maternal traits. We lease the rams in order to keep control of the gene's effect, normally on an annual rolling contract once on a customer farm. Its right to say that Aberdale crossbred ewes are way to...

We can assure you that the production of Highlanders is here to stay. Half of the tups at Carlisle sold as two key buyers decided to attend our sale in Stirling on Wednesday 29th. We hope that the Highlander quality has actually improved over the past 4 years as we've paid much more attention...

Its a real shame that you didn't take the time to speak to the 80 customers buying rams at the sale in order to properly evaluate the ram's performance and their impact on their business; most of the buyers understand their cost of production and profitability, hence their decision to attend. It...
