  • Starting with sheep- WHAT LAND YOU NEED. This video explains what land you may need and how to divide it up for the type of flock you are going to keep.
    All my videos are made from my experience from when I started my flock of Devon and Cornwall Longwools 13 years ago. I have enjoyed showing for 10 years and have run an Annual Lambing Weekend for 8 years. I also run regular sheep care days.

    Hi Lesley, great videos, thank you. How long should a piece of land be rested for please before being grazed again ? Many thanks.

      Hello June, during the summer I tend to rest it for a couple of weeks but in winter I like to leave it a month

    Hi! We have 6 sheep on around 2 acres. Do you think it's two many? I'm looking into rotational grazing but it doesn't seem too feasible on such a small scale. I enjoy seeing them walk freely over the land and I'm a bit reluctant to constrain them on a very small area. But I'm also concerned about overgrazing and parasites. Any advice? Thank you.

      Hi There, no thats fine especially if you fence off parts so you do not get high worm burden and poached ground. So you rest parts and graze the others x
