NSA Highland Sheep

June 11 @ 9:00 am - 5:00 pm

NSA Highland Sheep will be held by kind permission of the Brooke Family, Midfearn Farm, Ardgay on Wednesday 11th June 2025.

The Estate amounts to approximately 13,500 acres in total, with the majority being hill ground leaving around 250 acres in arable/grassland. Working as a purely closed stock producing unit with around 650 head of breeding ewes which are predominantly Cheviots and Suffolks and a small hirsel of Blackfaces remain which have been the backbone of the sheep flock since Midfearn begun. All lambs are sold as store with the best ewe lambs selected to be kept as replacements with only tups being bought in. In addition, Midfearn originally ran a herd of Simmental cross cows, but over the years it has changed to a closed herd of 110 Aberdeen Angus cross breeding cows. All calves are sold between 12-18 months as store cattle with the best heifer calves kept as replacements and breeding bulls bought in.
