Hand shearing a sheep in a stone barn

About me

I have kept sheep for sixteen years, on a croft with a stone barn and a lot of wind. I started with six ewes bought from a neighbour and a book I did not understand. I learned most of what I know by going out to the field every day, writing down what I saw and asking older shepherds why.

Now I teach it. The videos are filmed on the croft, in the shed and the field, in plain words and usually in a coat. What I sell are the things I wished I had when I started: guides, workbooks and record sheets to print and fill in, and two video courses, one for keeping your first flock and one for lambing. I do not sell sheep. I teach you to look after your own.

Flock Notes

A short letter every Sunday from the croft: what the sheep are doing, one tip and one job to do this week.
