The Farm and flock

Garnthwaite ewes and lambs spring 2006

The Garnthwaite pedigree flock has been established for over 85 years and has been farmed by the Dixon’s for the last 65 years. Much of the current flock is heavily influenced by the stock ram ‘Long Green Halfpenny Jak’, purchased in 1999 for £18,000 ‘Jak’ has proved to be an exceptional sire producing sons to £17,000.

Stock rams from the noted Mossdale flock have had a considerable influence on the current flock. Mossdale Whiskey, purchased in 2002 for £42,000 has proved to be a top sire producing the 2006 topper 'Garnthwaite Nero' who sold for £48,000

The stock ram purchased from the Arnfield flock in 2003 is proving to be a consistent sire with son's 'Garnthwaite Mighty' and 'Garnthwaite Napoleon' selling for £12,000 apiece and with further sons available for sale in 2007. The Arnfield ram has also achieved success in the show ring, winning the male championship at Langdon Beck show in September 2005.
