Click-em Wood Sheep
The Click-em Wood flock comprises of two breeds of registered sheep including Hebrideans & rare breed Castlemilk Moorits who are still on the 'at risk' section of the RBST Watchlist.
The numbers we have of each breed varies throughout the year as we buy and sell sheep with other breeders to refresh our flocks & bring in new blood & obviously our numbers increase after the lambing season, which usually takes place throughout April & sometimes into early May.
On average I would say we have around one hundred sheep & each breed has around the same numbers.
Our aim with both flocks is to breed quality sheep, keeping the characteristics of each breed true & making sure they all stay healthy & strong. A good reputation is always what we hope to maintain.
Over the years we have been showing our sheep successfully at some of the country shows that are held in the summer months & we have taken some of our stock to the Melton Mowbray Show & Sale which is held over two days in September. Fortunately, we have often received top prices at this event for our sheep and lambs.
We have managed to win numerous Primitive Championships both with Hebridean rams & ewes & also with Castlemilk Moorit rams & ewes.
Showing
In 2022 we haven't attended any shows with the sheep. Stuart had an operation earlier in the year & we wasn't able to prepare any sheep for the new season. For instance, we usually shear our own showing sheep in May for the season & spend time halter training, but this year we just concentrated on the usual flock maintenance.
This has given Stuart time to fully recover.
