NSA Sheep South West

June 25 @ 9:00 am - 5:00 pm

NSA Sheep South West will be hosted by the Stanbury family, at Weston Farm, East Knowstone. South Molton, Devon EX36 4ED. The farm currently lambs 980 ewes plus ewe lambs outside in April and is upping sheep numbers. The current flock includes some North Country and Suffolk Mules, put to Texel tups, but the predominant breeds are now Romneys. The farm is also venturing into wool shedding breeds with Easycare and Exlana ewes. All sheep are finished off of grass and herbal leys with the majority of sheep (and cattle) overwintered outside. In addition to the sheep flock the farm has 145 spring calving suckler cows, mostly native breeds, and is home to the Knowstone pedigree herd of Red Ruby Devon cattle.
