Our Flock
The Vault Flock was started in 2004 when we visited Cotswold Farm Park, the home of rare breeds. This is where we initially purchased 3 ewe lambs.
These three Hebrideans were purchased as pets and used as lawnmowers when we lived on the Malverns.
We then decided to try and breed with them the following year.
In November 2005 a proven ram Rye End Sebastian arrived on loan from local breeders Neil and Katie Anderson. This was the ram that started our "Vault" flock.
Having moved to the Lincolnshire Wolds we used Bearslair Captain and later purchased Cillimore Rhum from the York sale, who was the sire of Vault Victor.
The numbers of stock have fluctuated over the years and as of today we have 18 breeding ewes and some 7 ewe lambs, sired by Victor, to put to the tup in 2019 and 2020.
Our breeding stock has been purchased over the years, privately as well as from Melton Mowbray, and includes such flock names as Carrcross, Cinderhill, Jet, Skipwith, Sturch's Barn, & Sycamore .
With our new ram we can again breed with Victor's progeny.
All our sheep are born, reared and grazed on site and on local traditional pastures covering some 8 acres.
