KINTALINE JACOB SHEEP FLOCK All bred and reared here in Argyll
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 Jacob classes are hours away. So instead we will put up lots of pictures and you can decide for yourself.Meat : - for visitors to the Oban area, and locals living in the Lorn area, we have meat for sale. For the Winter and Spring of 2008 we have the tastiest mutton in our freezer.
We are open from 10 am every single day.
Fleece : - we still have a few of 2007's 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.
Stock for sale : - At present we are awaiting lambs so have no stock for sale. Once we know what we are keeping or not this year we will put the pictures and details up. Please get in touch if you would like to be informed when we have decided. This picture is our tup for this year.
