Carlisle Rare Breeds sale at the endof september saw us come home with 7 new shetlands and a jacob gimmer lamb. Three further jacobs have been purchased locally, and a trip to Newcastleton last week saw the arrival on farm of six blue-grey heifers aged between 6 and 12 months. These are a very hardy breed, a cross between galloway and whitebred shorthorn, and are intended to graze our marsh areas to help with the conservation aims, and then later to breed from.
