ADOPTASHEEP FAQ

The sheep have the longest, most comfortable life possible with us... longer than those bred for slaughter and more comfortable than those starved to make their wool finer and those given inadequate shelter due to over-clearing of vegetation. But they all eventually make their way to that final date with death, the abattoir. Few, if any, sheep die of old age. Ours live for 5 or 6 years. After that a sheep is fairly elderly and many lose their teeth or split their palates and find it hard to graze. Death is one of the constants of life in all forms of farming. Even people with small hobby flocks confront this daily. As to where we source our bloodstock, you find the best breeding rams come from the most nurturing environments... and we breed all our own ewes.
