When your lambing on your own and the ewes are wild then nothing beats a Solwaybank 2000 lamb sled. Yours to buy for a very sensible £19.99. Take the stress out of it all. Oh and that's a cracking ewe lamb I had born aswell. 😉
Our first ewe lamb by King Kong. It's not a pure born lamb but can you guess what type of breed it's mother is. It's a cracking cross.
First baby valais of the year. Looking forward to a few more 😀
Overall champion at the Valais Blacknose show and sale was lot 16 sired by the £14000 King Kong which is our new stock ram. Most of the first prize winning adult stock were also sired by him. Great day.
Our first female sold. She is a group 1 genotype and mv acc. Many thanks Becky.
The kids and their friends finally got to meet King Kong and get a picture with him before we get him home tomorrow night. He is even better in the flesh when you see him. Make sure you get to Carlisle tomorrow.
Over the moon to be able to purchase the top breeding ram King Kong from Raymond and Jenni. After seeing his amazing daughters he will no doubt prove to be a worthy purchase. I think everyone will be amazed at the quality of his daughters at the show and sale on Saturday at Carlisle. He will still be there at the show for everyone to see so make sure you get there and enjoy the day.

That's the girls getting ready for flushing. Gave them a little trim around the eyes and a nice spray of clik to prevent fly strikes.
The entire female flock in one video. There is a ewe lamb from this selection for sale as you will hear me try and pick out with commentary on the video. My jeep also sounds like a bag of spanners so apologies beforehand 😀
Our first ever Valais Blacknose ram sold. Solwaybank Commander. He is an RR and has been sold to the Highland flock for an undisclosed sum believed to be one of the highest priced ever sold. Best of luck to the new owners. Raymond and Jenni will no doubt get some better pictures very soon of him in his new home.
Curious little things
Here's the lads just enjoying the grass on a sunny evening.
Weather was a bit up and down today but when it was nice I got a quick photo of the females.
