Shearing the sheep

For welfare reasons sheep require to be clipped once a year. Our ewes are very grateful for their recent haircuts during these hot temperatures. Historically the wool cheque received would pay the annual farm rent, nowadays it costs us approx £1.50/sheep and we get £0.50/fleece when we sell it. Wool is sustainable, renewable and biodegradable making it an environmentally friendly option to start insulating your homes, regulate your body temperature with a wool mattress or upgrade to a strong durable British carpet.
