REDUCTION OF THE FREEFOLK FLOCK
We are very reluctantly reducing our Freefolk flock due to the loss of a substantial part of our grazing. Established in 2020, the flock’s foundation stock has included ewes from Ashmansworth, Spartan, Horsley, Longfriday Rose-dene and Weeton. Stock rams used from Langrigg, Billesdons Weeton and Maybank, as well as home-bred.
Health – all stock are bolused, on the Heptavac P system, vaccinated for bluetongue BTV-3, Toxovac. Shearling ewes wormed, pour on.
Details of the females for sale are as follows:
