Worm, first vacine and fly prevention done, lamb weights not bad considering the weather they had at the start. Twins averaged 260g/day and singles 320g/day from birth across all breeds pure AberMax Lleyn and AberField SR’s @InnovisLtd

Delighted to welcome Ysgol Bro Ingli. Enjoyed talking to them about the sheep and grazing system’s. Even had help to set up an electric fence. Some fantastic questions from very well behaved children, a credit to the school. Thanks to NFU cymru for providing educational packs.

It’s that time of year of gradually getting the paddocks sub divided into smaller blocks. Hopefully next weeks rain forecast will green the farm up. 🤞

Grazing platform looking green ready for post lambing turn out, considering the final rotation being so wet in the back end of winter. A joy to see the farm from a different angle!

It’s the time of year when we get a chance to catch our breath and look back at the season – the big data our geneticists work with to help drive the breeding programme forward just gets bigger every year.Huge thanks to our Breeding Partners for working hard to collect this data.

AberMax stock sires have done me proud, ram lambs 37:1 and older boys 70:1 ewe to ram single sire ratio. According to the raddle marks 80% of the ewes served in first cycle following teasers. Shown here post tupping at body condition score 4+. @InnovisLtd

Tups out of the AberMax flock after two cycles, fingers crossed for scanning at the end of the year. Hopefully produce a good group of rams for the 2022 sales. @InnovisLtd

Im always a bit nervous having the whole flock in single sire mating groups, with between 65-75 ewes per tup. However the sheep are getting marked with over 50% covered. This Lleyn ram has served 50 of his 75 ewes in a week. Lambing should be interesting!
