The decision to dispose of Tony & Betty Cother’s breeding sheep

flock has been brought about entirely due to their retirement from

active farming. All of the sheep on offer are Lleyn X ewes and they

have been crossed back to the Meatlink, Beltex or Berrichon Tups.

All flock replacements have been homebred. The breakdown of the

flock is approximately:-

48 shearlings

60 2 shears

174 3-5 shears

20 Aged but correct ewes

All ewes (apart from 20 shearlings) lambed this time from the 17th

March onwards all to the Meatlink, Beltex or Berrichon tup. Lambs

were weaned in the first week of August and the ewes have been run

on fully organic lines with no supplementary feeding until after

Christmas each year. They were treated with a pour on for blow fly

between the 7th and 9

th July and were all wormed at lambing time.

The usual lambing percentage for recent years has been

approximately 185%.

The flock has been split between Colcroft Farm at Fylingdales which

carries the gimmer lambs and older ewes with the majority of the

breeding sheep being run on cliff land over-looking the North sea at

Ravenscar. The ewes have summered well and are all in good

condition being strong framed heavy sheep which breed an excellent

lamb confirmation. The ewes are highly recommended by the

Auctioneers to do well wherever they go. Prior inspection of the

flock can be made at any reasonable time by contacting Tony Cother

on 01947 880259.
