Hurrah! It’s Lambing Time again here at Roves Farm. We love this special time, welcoming new life on to the farm. This January we are expecting 129 Poll Dorset lambs, including five sets of triplets!
Spend some time on our viewing walkway looking out over the lambing shed as the day’s action unfolds. You may be lucky enough to see a lamb or two being born.
Plus, there will be all the usual fun on the farm with activities, indoor & outdoor play, Toddler Time and meet & feed the animals.
Our sheep graze the fields here at Roves Farm, under our solar panels and on neighbouring farmland year round.
Breeds of ram used to tup the ewes are chosen carefully to ensure a high-quality meat product. Lambing takes place in January and April each year in our large barn.
The smaller Poll Dorset flock lamb in January, and the main Suffolk cross breeding ewes lamb in April. Lambing in January, early in the season, means that we have a year round supply of meat for our Farm Shop & Butchery.
