Honestly, there’s few things better than a good ram sale 😍.
Couldn’t fault the line of rams at the Rolling Rock Polled Dorset stud today.

Left over rolled stuffed roast leg of #polldorset #lamb, the wife’s homemade bread, #warrnamboolcheeaeandbutter factory butter and @merseyvalleychedder pickled onion cheese toasties for lunch. Simply beautiful. #thunderhillestate #lambsupreme #thelambclub #thunderhillsires

The boys taking a dander to their new paddock. Love the temperament of these rams, quiet and easy to work with. #polldorset #thunderhillestate #preferredsire #thelambclub #lambsupreme #thunderhillsires

This lamb is called ‘Hallelujah’. Her surname is ‘Lambing Has Finished Thank Fuck For That’. One of those posh long names

[Sophie Barnes @SheepishSophie]

Not the best, but not the worst.
A’s did well.
The ram we found out when we came home from the SI definitely did it’s work 😳 plenty of early lambs, thanks to the fertile nature of a Dorset!
Only 6 triplets!

[Sophie Barnes @SheepishSophie]

Sorting through lambs to go to the works tomorrow... gotta love the length of a Dorset 😍

Mentoring in progress. Thought there may have been a pedigree intersection at some point, turns out they’re just great mates. 29/15 hasn’t left 293/17 side since she gave birth. Not bad mums these Dorsets. @AustPollDorset @VicPollDorsets #polldorset #lambsupreme #preferredsire
