Some of our market Dorset lambs in early summer 2018.

Our flock of Polled Dorsets evolved from a Horned Dorset flock originally started by Violaine’s grandfather, Geoffrey Harris Mitchell in the 1950s. We currently number 60 purebred, unregistered polled Dorset ewes with a goal to increase the flock to 70-80 ewes over the next few years. Our flock lambs in December (suits off-farm work schedule and takes advantage of Dorsets' year round breeding cycle.) We keep 30% of ewes for both sale and breeding in the flock. We put an emphasis on easy lambing so any lambs that cannot be born unassisted are not retained. Our goal is to intervene in less than 5% of all lambings.
