Flock History

Nettlebed Jacob flock was established in 1997 with 4 horned sheep.  Unfortunately in 2001 this flock had to be culled as Foot and Mouth disease was confirmed in an adjacent farm. Later that year new sheep were purchased, this time two horned, and the current small flock of ten breeding ewes evolved.
Stock ram, Webbery Heracles, purchased from Bridget Wilson following a successful showing season as a shearling, including Breed Champion at Devon County  and Bath & West Shows .                                                                                                                     

New additions to the flock are retained 2009 bred ram lamb, Nettlebed Kestrel - a son of Hyndshaw Poppy by Webbery Heracles. - a mating which has produced my best show sheep.

A recent purchase from Clive Richardson is Border Rambler a shearling son of Border Romany.  Both very successful in the show ring - this year 2011 - Rambler was Breed champion male and Reserve overall Champion at the Royal Highland amongst his many successes.
