Been in the Lake District for a few days shearing. Beautiful countryside, awesome sheep. Such a shame every farmer burning there #wool

Ewes looking spot on this winter after taking the wool off them. Very healthy, loads more room. They will be turned out in March to lamb during April for 3 weeks.

Tailing day at home, plenty of family members making light work of 1,231 lambs. Eric in charge of lamb pen. 1.55% lambs/ewes put to the ram. Pretty happy with that. Outdoor lambing NZ texels.

The annual ram shearing video, 259 rams shorn this year, a record for us at Bentley but I think Nick Greaves is desperate for more!! Brilliant job as always by team Greaves, perfect training for their lamb shearing record attempt 😜🤪💪 Innovis Ltd #sheep365 #foragefed
