Well after the dry and cold April, we’re now into a very wet May period. Hopefully most people have finished lambing by now and the grass is finally starting to grow.

Spring is finally here and you will find a copy of our latest Newsletter (February 2021) here.

Let’s hope 2021 allows us all to meet up again soon and move forward positively. 

Our 2020 annual Show and Sale went ahead with great success on 28th August 2020, despite the Covid-19 restrictions. With Countryfile cameras and presenter Adam Henson, also a Whiteface Dartmoor member/supporter in attendance, ram prices peaked at £800 guineas (see below) and the top price ewes reached £150.
