Flock No 1210 Est 2008

 

The Banburyhill Flock now comprises 19 ewes and our female line is entirely descended from the noted Barley Park flock.  Our aim is to produce quality Oxford Down breeding stock from the home of the breed here in Oxfordshire.

 

Rams used have been from Barley Park, Greenlands, New House and Billesdons

as well as some home-bred stock.

 

Billesdons Melton (19160) was purchased for the flock at

Melton Mowbray 2021 for a breed record 1600gns.
