Update 2014

Well the weather has really tested us all so far this year, so wet rain & more rain when is it going to stop? Fingers crossed our Torddu ewes are in lamb ! Elvis has been advertised as we can no longer use him on the flock again, very sad as he has been a fantastic ram & flagship for Ystwyth Smallholders. Our most recent venture has been to source Herdwick sheep, we located Tim Hill on preloved a couple of weeks ago & following a trip to Usk on Friday we now have one ewe hopefully in lamb & 3 very nice ewe lambs so all in all very pleased. On the Poultry side of things the Minorcas have found shelter in the run on the side of the house so we have moved them lock stock & barrel poor things have been soaked due to this horrendous wet weather ! Gilbert our one & only surviving Guinea Fowl is not at all impressed as this was his shelter :-(
