Skyhigh Zwartbles - Welcome

The Skyhigh flock of pedigree Zwartbles sheep is owned by Mark and Jane Shadwick and family at Raughton near Carlisle in Cumbria.

The flock was established in 2004 with the purchase of 22 females and 4 males from the renowned Dutch flock of Bouwe and Jaqueline Klok (NL20679). The 4 rams were all ARRARR and included our senior stock ram IM20679-00618  ‘Rambo’. The females included all of their very best ARRARQ ewes as they were making the change to ARRARR scrapie status.

Showing is carried out on a limited basis and the Skyhigh flock has won the breed championship at The Great Yorkshire, The Cumberland County, Penrith and Dalston in recent years.

The farm is currently in Organic Conversion and we have decided to  reduce the size of our flock to 20 ewes plus 6 to 8 replacement ewe lambs.

 We have males and females of all ages for sale privately.

Your enquiries are always most welcome.
