Perrymill Jacob
Sheep (Flock Number 707)
The Perrymill flock was established in 1976 and has
had considerable success in the show ring and at Society Sales.
The flock is a Four Horn flock and sheep are selected
that have a proud carriage and can hold their head high as well as
meeting all the breed standards.
Currently there are 24 breeding ewes and the flock
is one of the very few in the country to be Maedi Visna Accredited
and also Scrapie Monitored.
Ewes are sponged to lamb in January so that ram lambs
and ewe lambs that are correct and well grown may be sold in August
and September.
Jacob lamb is some of the tastiest meat and
is the only lamb that finds its way to the table at Brettles
farm!
Margie was Chairman of the Jacob Sheep Society
from 2000 to 2003 after 18 years on the Council of the Society.
She is always willing to help new members.
