Health and Management

We undertake best industry practices concerning the health program of the Border Leicester Flock.

All sheep have a complete 6-in-1 program at marking and weaning and are only drenched when necessary, in accordance with regular worm egg count results.

Ovine Brucellosis is under a triennial testing program. Our certificate number is CW 76395 and the expiry date is August 31, 2028.

We remain committed to keeping the flock free from OJD. We undertake triannual pooled faecal testing (OJD) plus have an active farm biosecurity plan to assist in maintaining our OJD-free status. Our OJD 2025 pooled faecal count was conducted on June 24th with a negative result.

All sale rams are independently vet-checked the day prior to our sale. This ensures the rams are sound for sale.

All breeding ewes are run under commercial conditions, this is to select and improve on performance.

​

We choose to do this to select only those animals that will perform.
