Meet the team

A group of four sheep standing on a grassy field, enclosed by a wooden fence, with cloudy skies overhead.

Trixie, Ella, Lucie, and Maze

Our four sheep are all Jacob Herdwick cross breeds. They were born in the spring of 2024, and came to us once old enough, in the summertime of the same year.

Trixie and Ella were both hand reared after their mum abandoned them. Fortunately, they took well to this and you wouldn’t be able to tell at all now! They all have very big and very different personalities.

  • ‘Definitely Lucie! She is usually the ringleader when it comes to causing trouble, always managing to notice if the electric fence is turned off, and usually running straight through it! She also once jumped out of the stable when it was time to be sheared!’

  • ‘They all love their sheep nuts, and come running over as soon as they hear them rattling in the bucket. Apples are another of their favourites, and we sometimes hide them around their paddock for them to search for.’

  • ‘They are done usually once a year, often in spring/early summer. This is essential to keep them cool through the hotter months, and to make it easier to prevent the flies from annoying them.’
