The skyhigh flock of pedigree Zwartbles sheep is owned by Mark and Jane Shadwick and family based at Raughton near Carlisle in Cumbria.
The flock was established in 2004  with the purchase of 22 ewes and 4 rams 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.

Ewe numbers are maintained at approximately 25 breeding ewes plus 6 to 8 ewe lambs retained as flock replacements. Surplus females are sold both privately and at Zwartbles Association sales.

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.
