About Us 

We are fourth generation farmers but the first to keep rare breed sheep. Our family have been in this valley since the 1930s pursuing tradtional farming methods, preferring quality over a race for profit.

The sheep are kept mainly at Dunstarn Farm in Leeds but are also at Hallcroft Hall in Addingham and East Hott Bank Farm in Northumberland.

 

We bought our foundation flock from Linda Barnard at Malton in 2010 and enjoyed our first lambing season in 2011. We have pure breed Kerrys and Kerry Mules. We are members of the Kerry Hill Flock Book Society and Linda is currently on the national Council We have exhibited our sheep since 2014 fwinning prizes for both our sheep and fleeces.

We can offer a selection of tups, lambs and gimmers for breeding purposes. We use our wethers as teasers or with the Mules for our Lamb Box scheme.

We retain our shorn fleeces and process these at Bridlington where we specify the type of yarn we require for fleece rugs,chair covers hand/machine knitting yarn or duvets for our holiday lets

We have been inspected by our local authority animal welfare dept and conform to all farming standards as per Defra regulations. We are members of CLA and NFU.

We receive a small farming subsidy of about £800 pa and generate our own electricity from a wind turbine for the Northumberland farm which is off grid.  We were in a hill stewardship scheme for 10 years, but chose not to renew.
