On a beautiful winter afternoon we collected six Kerry Hill ewes, all hopefully in lamb, who are now settling in to life in the ridge and furrow grassfield opposite the house. Kerry Hills are a striking looking sheep who have until very recently been on the rare breeds list. They originate from the hills around the small town of Kerry on the English/Welsh borders and are a bold and strong sheep. They have a reputation for being excellent mothers - we keep our fingers crossed for the beginning of March!
