Goodbye to the holidaymakers...

This big a boy along with his two mates and and a small harem of females leaves TOFT today after being here over winter on holiday. They came down from Lancaster around about October as their owners were renovating their paddocks overwinter. They are leaving today for Wiltshire today. This big boy is currently in two years fleece having missed shearing last season which gives him that classic  big Peruvian look. 

These visitors have spent the past 5 months in our quarantine paddocks as two happy little family groups and have been a delight, but today they are off to warmer climes as we need the space in quarantine now for all the wee groups of maidens now arriving at TOFT from all parts North and South for mating to our Stud Males. The sound of  orgling TOFT stud males will underscore Easter this year. Hey ho and a mating we will go!
