As I write this the weather has turned from being relatively warm and dry to wet cold rain on an easterly wind, just what isn't wanted for those who have started lambing. There is thunder, lightning and hail outside at present! Hopefully it will warm again in a few days as the forecast is predicting.
Most of the winter grazing programme has been completed now and with all the stock looking well after the milder winter. the Exmoor ponies are looking particularly sleek and well fed. The sheep are mostly back at the coast and being sorted into those that will be sold and those that will graze through the summer and next winter.
On that note shearling lamb sales will begin again in the next couple of weeks so if anyone is wanting any please get in touch through the email there will be plenty available of the next 3 months.

Flexigraze specialises in grazing nature reserves and important grasslands thoughout North East England. This is called 'conservation grazing' which means we graze these areas for the benefit of the nature that exists there as well as for the livestock. By using different species and breeds of livestock we can manage the grasslands in the most appropriate manner to improve and maintain their bio-diversity value.
