Want to breed the wool off your sheep? 

Wool shedding is just another trait that you can add or take away from your ewes ---depending on your ewe and how much wool she has this process can take between 1 and 3 crosses to achieve

​

Many ewes including the Hill breeds like the Shetlands, Blackface, Cheviots and Welsh ewes will produce shedding lambs on the first cross with an Exlana ram

Mules & Lleyns can take two generations to get to a full shedding ewe

​

If you start with  a Romney or a Dorset it may take a little longer 

​

We record shedding speed and ability in our stud flocks and can advise you on which ram lines to use if you want to breed the wool off your home flock
