What a day.... We have to admit, we were very nervous heading to our first Dutch Spotted Sheep Society Sale at Welshpool Livestock Sales with our very first homebred ram lamb on offer Dwynwen Jâc Jones!

It felt like a pretty big milestone for our Dwynwen Flock, putting one of our own lambs forward for the first time. We’ve watched Jâc Jones grow from a tiny lamb into the smart, correct young ram he is today, so seeing him go through the sale ring was a very proud moment for us.

Jâc Jones found a new home in the sale ring and we are happy with what we achieved with him and most importantly beey grateful to everyone who bided. Good luck to J Davies, we hope he settles in well and develops into a lovely stock ram to help to build their starter flock. We’ll certainly be keeping an eye out for how he gets on!

We’re still learning, still finding our feet and there’s certainly plenty more to learn, but days like this make all the hard work, early mornings and hours spent worrying over sheep feel all worthwhile!

To make the day even more exciting, we were absolutely over the moon to come home with two lovely lambs of our own Aberhonddu Dutch Spotted Jessie J from Darren Witcomb and Cara Morgan and Dustland Jellybaby from Chloe Harding.

Two cracking, good-looking lambs that we are really pleased to have added to the flock. A huge thank you to you both we’re excited to see how these two develop over the coming months into promising yearlings.

Our first society sale, our first home-bred ram lamb and two new additions to the Dwynwen Flock. A day we won’t forget in a hurry! Here’s to the next chapter… 🖤🤍🤎

It's been a busy and productive couple of days on the farm this weekend with plenty going on.

Firstly, we are so happy to have passed our annual whole herd TB test. This is part of our routine annual testing requested by APHA, so it's always a relief to get the all-clear.

Our Dwynwen Dutch Spotted have also gone to the rams We have 17 ewes being put to Dustland I'mthe man, Cannon Hall Innovation and Merryboro Jack Daniels... Dustland certainly didn't hang around before getting down to work! We are really excited to see what next year's lambing brings for the Dwynwen flock. 🖤🤍🤎

We've also been busy with the Cheviots, checking everyone over, trimming a few feet and weaning the lambs today. We should have some store lambs ready for market in a few weeks. Another job ticked off our very long list!

The fields and hedgerows are looking incredibly dry at the moment. With some rain finally forecast, we are hoping for a good, steady drop rather than a deluge — the ground is so hard and dry that it really needs a chance to soak in... we have everything crossed. We have lots happening and plenty more to look forward to.
