Our Sheep
Known as Cumbria's own sheep Herdwicks are widely considered the hardiest of all Britain's hill sheep. A distinctive breed, the lambs are black in colour fading to chocolate brown, then greying as they age.  Most ewes are not bred from until three years old and often only have one lamb. Lambs are usually over a year old before being mature enough for meat, this growing time makes them relatively expensive to produce.

The Quality Meat
Herdwicks' mixed diet and long natural lifestyle produces a meat so rich and tender that it has become a national delicacy. The cuts are smaller and the meat has superb depth of flavour and is high in beneficial Omega 3 fat.
