FLOCK

We bought Daphne, already named, when she was five months old at the Cotswold Sheep Society Annual Sale in 2017. She was a beautiful ewe lamb, sitting happily and chewing the cud. Her wool was amazing, with long, lustrous locks.

Over the years, Daphne has entered many agricultural shows and has been awarded numerous rosettes; her exceptional wool has earned prizes of its own. She’s been an incredible mum too. We love Daphne, and when we are checking on the sheep in the field, there’s nothing she enjoys more than leaning in for a long, satisfying scratch.

Reuben was bought from the Queenford flock as a ram lamb. Gentle and respectful by nature. He stands the tallest in our flock with authority. He never rushes over to the trough at teatime, taking his time as he strides to take his place, but yet he still knows how to hold his own when needed.

He has enjoyed several successes at local agricultural shows, proudly earning his own rosettes. Andrew has shown Reuben at these events and has worked hard to promote the Cotswold breed, and Reuben truly is a fine example of it.
Reuben has fathered many of our sheep, and his strong bloodline and excellent qualities will live on in the flock for years to come. He’s a true gentleman among sheep.

These two are part of the first four sheep we bought, forming the foundation to our flock. These first sheep were christened the Tewkesbury Four and have formed the matriarchs of the flock.

Sweet-natured and inseparable, Bellatrix and Bella are as charming as they come. Bellatrix, however, with her deep voice carries a touch of diva energy. She insists on being the centre of attention and is not shy about showing her displeasure if another sheep dares to get in her way. Bella, ever gentle, keeps her sister grounded.
Both love a good scratch and are almost always found side-by-side. They are simply adorable.

Our homegrown ram, Ethan, is a chip off the old block being the son of the gentle Reuben. He has inherited many of the outstanding qualities of both his parents. He has height, excellent quality wool and calmness.

Abigail has enjoyed halter training Ethan to follow in the footsteps of his father by competing at local agricultural shows. Abigail states he has been a dream to train and has taken to it with ease. We are sure that Ethan has enjoyed it too and seems to know where he is off to when the stock box arrives at the field.
