Monk Hall Farm An adventure, sustainably rearing native and rare breeds of cattle, goats, pigs, poultry, and sheep.

Our native breed Dexter cattle enjoy a varied diet and will make more use of browsing opportunities than you'd think - cows don't just graze!

It's almost harvest time and your limited opportunity to secure some mouthwatering hogget. Our half-boxes (typically 7-9kg) are made up of a leg joint, two half shoulder joints, chops and cutlets, ribs and some mince.

Full of flavour from 16 months of slowly maturing on our varied upland grazing. This isn't bland 4 month-old lamb that the supermarkets are full of, this is a completely different taste experience altogether!

Reserve yours while you still have the chance! Available for local collection.

Two weeks earlier I found this ewe alone in the field at 2am, quivering and unable to stand - cardinal signs of twin lamb disease or pregnancy toxaemia as it is properly termed. Often fatal for the ewe and unborn lambs you have to act fast.

A twin lamb drench and big subcutaneous injection of calcium saw her make a miraculous recovery, rising from almost dead to noisily demanding extra feed in a matter of hours.

Then, pretty much to the day when she was due, out pop a pair of healthy tup lambs. Hebrideans are such resilient sheep!

One of the reasons we love our native breed Hebridean sheep is their brilliant mothering instincts. Not once has one of our ewes rejected her lamb. The lambs catch on quickly too - often on their feet and sucking down some colostrum within 5-10 minutes of arriving in this world. That's just the start they need when you farm 1000 feet up in the hills!

Lambing is well underway and we seem to have picked a great week of weather, which is definitely making the sleep deprivation more manageable!

This is one of our first time mothers with a little tup lamb.
