Zwartbles are a lovely looking sheep with striking markings, excellent prolificacy, good growth and easy temperaments. Our Zwartbles are being produced as pedigree breeding stock with lesser animals being finished at grass and sold either at market or privately. We are regularly finishing lambs at in excess 60kg at grass. It is our aim to continue the easy management qualities of the Zwartbles, such as calm natures, easy lambing and milkiness, whilst at the same time improving the carcass quality, through increased fleshing.

Border Leicester sheep are the oldest registered breed of sheep in the UK, their flock book record having been kept for over 100 years. They are used as sires of cross breds - called The Halfbred - and it is in the production of this female that they have found their fame and popularity. Such is their success in introducing hybrid vigour into other breeds that they have been named "The Great Improver".

As a sheep they are proud, broad and strong. They have length and well-developed chests and strength of bone. Their erect neck and ears impart a grace and aloofness that belies their tractability and ease of handling.
