North Wales farmer puts his faith in sheep milk

A dairy sheep farmer is increasing production as demand for ewe milk grows. Huw Jones established a dairy sheep flock at Ty Hen Newydd, near Llanerchymedd, Anglesey, two years ago. He has now added a further 50 Lacuane x East Friesians to the flock. “There is a massive market for sheep milk in the UK and it is expanding,’’ says Huw. To set up the business, he secured a £12,000 loan to buy sheep and a mobile milking parlour and is now milking 100 ewes. The farmer’s son set up his own business because his family’s 100-acre sheep and beef farm isn’t big enough to provide a livelihood for him and his parents.

The Greenline breed replaced the Merino-Leicester crossbreed 10 years ago at the Slade family’s farm Glenridge Park, Mount Barker, Western Australia (WA). The Slades produce over 10,000 lambs annually for the North American market and breeding stock in an outdoor lambing system. The Greenline has improved maternal ability, lamb growth and weaning rates. This has been realised in a closed flock to minimise bought-in disease risk.   7,500 Greenline ewes producing over 10,000 lambs
