Moonbeams Land has just invested in some Pedigree Rare Breed Dorset Down Sheep.

• Dorset Down Sheep are justly known as "king of the prime lamb breed".
• One of the oldest breeds of native English sheep.
• Dorset Down Sheep have a prestigious history as well as a promising future in British farming.
• The Dorset Down is renowned for producing early maturing lambs from grass, making them ideal for organic, and other extensive farming systems.  Perfect for Moonbeams Land!
• The Dorset Down produces a lamb with fine bones and shoulders, well fleeced with an outstanding leg, grading E.U.R. at 2-3L.  the loin is perfectly covered with a full eye of meat and the shoulder is of particularly good flavour.
• The Dorset Down sire has no equal for early mature lamb production and produces an ideal carcass regardless of the sex of the lamb.  Single lambs can be brought up to 18kg dressed carcass weight within 10 to 12 weeks, twin lambs to the same weight within 12 to 14 weeks, while a good lamb gains up to 0.45kg per day live weight. 

We will have fresh lamb early next year!
