‘They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.’

After a very chilly night these ladies in waiting were in no rush to get up first thing, can’t say I blame them! But it’s turned into a stunningly bright winter’s day, although still damn cold in the shade🥶#RoscallieZwartbles #Sheep #Winter #Zwartbles

New girls on the block…welcome to lambs Pendle Lady, Thirnbank Lullaby and Wallridge Moor Lima #ZwartblesSheep #RoscallieZwartbles #EweLambs

Stunning start to a beautiful day and it got better with Oscar’s school rugby team taking a great win over the 14th ranked U18 team in England - top effort boys!💪👏#Roscallie #Zwartbles #Sheep #Rugby

Beautifully bright autumnal day and dry for once, much appreciated by these in-lamb ewes. Something very relaxing about sheep cudding in dappled shade…funny how we appreciate different things as we age!😅 #Zwartbles #HappySheep #Roscallie

Our last three female additions to the flock - summer purchased ewe lambs Castle Hill Lupin & Craigies Lady Muck and our precious Whinnow Courtney, bought in 2015 and one of our older ewes to be tupped this year (fingers crossed in lamb to Wallridge Moor Kraken🤞) #Zwartbles

New stock ram Wallridge Moor Kraken, a gentle giant with tremendous length and introducing new bloodlines into our flock, we look forward to his lambs next year🤞#Zwartbles #RoscallieSheep #Ram

After running a closed female flock for eight years, we have five lovely additions; shearlings Barmurrie Kansas, Smiddy Hill Kerry, Lauderdale Kinetic and lambs Craigies Lady Muck and Castle Hill Lupin #Roscallie #Zwartbles #BestSheep

Love this beautiful pic taken by Oscar three years ago, although possibly not the most photogenic angle for our dear ‘Swampy’ (Beech Hay Bramble), now enjoying an idyllic retirement🥰 #HomeForLife #Zwartbles #RoscallieZwartbles
