Quality Ryeland Sheep

We wouldn't presume to suggest our methods are the ideal or that they are necessarily the best for you. But, we realise that all Ryeland breeders learn fromn each other and are curious about each others methods. The information on this page is offered simply to share our experience - both successes and mistakes! Methods, techniques, hints and tips are learned from trial and error over time and we will keep this page up to date with our current methods and add new things we have learned - we pick up tips from others all the time and our methods change often. We hope you find the information useful, but it doesn't come with any warranty! - you must interpret our methods as being suitable for you and if in doubt, consult your vet.

The topics we will add over the coming months are:

Shearing Show Sheep (article published in the Ryeland Flock Book Newsletter)
