We’ve had a few requests for photos of Bluebells (Nell’s lamb last year, 3/4 Loaghtan) here she is being sheared- beautiful soft fleece #shearing #loaghtancrosses #wool #farming #isleofman

@AdeysAlthorp Please tell the farmer thank you for having seen it in the first place and then cultivating around it 👏

[Manx Loaghtan @MLProduce]

@weiske_a In theory that makes sense but personally I’ve never seen a sunburnt sheep. In hot weather they will tend to seek out shade

Shearing today, we did some of the ewes…..here’s Big Mel, her fleece was huge but as you can see she is still a big girl underneath all that wool! #BigMel #shearing #wool #farming #isleofman

@Joi_the_Artist Look forward to it!

[Manx Loaghtan @MLProduce]

@piece_goods I’m sure she will feel more comfortable without that huge fleece

[Manx Loaghtan @MLProduce]

@RyverSongog Thank you, we thought so too! They must be relieved in this heatwave to lose all that fleece and weight of wool

[Manx Loaghtan @MLProduce]

Shearing today we decided to do our big girls, so after Big Mel we did Daisy. Fleece not quite as big as Mel but still a big girl underneath all the wool! She’s Suffolk/Loaghtan cross but the only hint of Loaghtan is brown back of her head & on her tail. #shearing #isleofman

@booberry73 Oh we do snuggle him but the razor sharp teeth biting everything are a little painful! He’s still a baby so a little while before he starts being trained seriously although will start walking through the sheep soon

Meet the newest member of our team - 10 week old Fynn. Don’t let those dewy eyes fool you, he is a live wire! #sheepdog #verycute #farming #sheep #isleofman

@faerielibrarian He’s pure silver to me too!

Couldn’t put this on until Magnus had been unveiled but this was him arriving on the farm on Saturday. I did wonder if passersby did a double take as he was driven here #manxloaghtan #bestsculpture #farmyardstudio #manxtalent #isleofman

@faerielibrarian It’s galvanized iron!

@weiske_a Thank you, we are thrilled with Darren and Stephanie’s interpretation of a Manx Loaghtan. He will play an important part in helping this breed get off the RBST Red priority list

[Manx Loaghtan @MLProduce]

What a special day. We are so proud that his excellency the Governor & lady Lorimer came to unveil our statue of Magnus made by Darren & Stephanie Quayle, their talent will put Manx Loaghtans on the map. Thank you to everyone who came today. #manxloaghtan #artmatters #isleofman

@Beverle45538597 He is fantastic too, there are some really clever artists who can create wonderful sculptures like this

[Manx Loaghtan @MLProduce]

@Wattybird Ahhhh my original Magnus, he was a really special ram, a gentle giant who lived to the old age (for a ram) of 12. I still miss him. This Magnus is modeled on one of his grandsons

[Manx Loaghtan @MLProduce]

@Wattybird Thank you, I love Manx Loaghtans and I love these artists so this is a match made in heaven!
