Hallelujah....Bring on the boys !

These girls are those that over wintered in the non pregnant paddocks yearning to meet the boys and satisfy their need to reproduce. We started mating at TOFT as soon as shearing finished, which was last week. So these girls are now all together in the early mating paddock being run in and serviced every other day by our very happy Stud males. Every day they queue at the gate with that 'look' in their eye! 

The sound of 'orgling' echoes around TOFT every Monday Wednesday  and Friday at the moment as the boys get themselves match fit for the rest of the season.

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! 

TOFT stud males this is your life....

From juniors through intermediates to adult- this is their life. Come the green grass and warmer days these Elite Champions and prizewinning TOFT boys will be looking for their own harem... Make a date to visit TOFT  and give your girls a valentine prezzy to remember.
