2010 is a year for re-evaluating all our values and working to improve our personal sustainability, there has never been a better time to get our gardens working harder for ourselves, growing our own food: meat and eggs, recycling more, breeding more useful types of birds, and helping each other.
Our websites are full of experienced advice, from decades of breeding and rearing and eating, and well researched, reliable, state of the art products for the domestic environment.
We look forward to helping you get more out of your garden or smallholding, and your birds, for a fulfilling 2010.

KINTALINE JACOB SHEEP FLOCK All bred and reared here in Argyll
two four horned jacob lambs
We only have a small flock -- we only have a small farm!
Over the years they have mainly been an essential part of our grazing management for the birds, and a superb source of scrummy meat for ourselves.
As such they are a perfect breed, and our flock has evolved into a hardy, healthy, easy to handle and manage flock of characters.
We do not show - all the shows are in the summer when we are SO busy with visitors and customers here at the farm. Also the nearest ones with any decent Jacob classes are hours away. So instead we will put up lots of pictures and you can decide for yourself.

We are aiming to improve the type, and are working towards a Four horned flock, but have both two and four horned girls at present.

Meat : - for visitors to the Oban area, and locals living in the Lorn area, we have meat for sale, sometimes. We are part of the newly established Local Producers Market, which is held here at the farm every First and Third Thursday of the month, March to December, so even if we do not have any Jacob meat left, you can buy lots of other scrummy produce of the area.
OCTOBER 2010 : We have some Jacob wethers going for mutton in the next month, we only have 8 so supplies will be shortlived. please contact us to book some scrumptious Jacob mutton from Kintaline.

Fleece : - we still have a few fleeces for sale for spinning, and have kept some of the previous years for the felters.
I will get some pictures sorted soon, and hopefully a friend who spins to describe it for you, as I fear I do not know what you are looking for. The fleece is AS IS, no washing, no cleaning - straight off the sheep and into net bags.

Rugs : - To get the most from our boys we sent the skins to be hand-tanned in Scotland. I wll get the images up with the paypal buttons as soon as I can. Again they are for sale here at the farm.


Finn - our four horned Jacob tup for the past couple of years, is now sold, we will miss him. He has been an extremely good natured boy with us, given us good babies, and been a delight to own. As we need a new boy for his wives and daughters this year, we had to reluctantly selling him.
Stock for sale : - I am working to get the pictures and information of the rest of our Autumn 2010 stock for sale. Please get in touch for more information.
