Tasha & Monty
Tasha, Monty and Bella

Our house pets line up changed last year after saying goodbye to Tasha.

Tasha was our loyal and affectionate 13 year old Border collie. She was very energetic and a good working dog, herding all the livestock. There were lots of walks for her to explore in the surrounding hills and lanes and she enjoyed life to the full, swimming and diving into streams and rivers to retrieve her well-chewed tennis balls.

However sadly she is no longer with us but we have fond memories of her.

Now Bella has joined us and she reached her first birthday in August 2023

Monty our rescue cat who is some 14 years old is thoroughly laid back,usually in front of the wood burner or snoozing on top of the straw in the barns.

He is inquisitive and likes to climb the trees and explore the barn roofs, though finding a way down is a bit more challenging.

He is naturally very wary of Bella - but has shown he is top cat!

International Sheep Dog Society

The International Sheep Dog Society is a member organisation and registers over 6,000 Border Collie pups every year. The ISDS Number and Dog Certificate are a guarantee of pedigree that, for most dogs, can be traced back over 100 years.

Our Sheep

We chose to keep Hebrideans as they are a small and hardy primitive breed and are very easy to handle.

German Pekin Ducks

We are currently not offering any ducks or duck eggs for sale. This due to Defra`s policy concerning Avian Flu.
There have been no poultry shows for the last three years and no poultry auctions.
