Bentley Suffolks rams on the move this morning too. Some strong boys in here by the summer! there’s some decisions to make for the NSA event in wales next month, might even have to shear a few myself 🙈 @NickGreaves1 @sheep_suffolk @AHDB_BeefLamb @natsheep
Weaning weekend at home, pleased with how they’ve done so far. Mobbed up, rotate and create a bit of grass hopefully ☘️

The annual ram shearing video, 259 rams shorn this year, a record for us at Bentley but I think @NickGreaves1 is desperate for more!! Brilliant job as always by team Greaves, perfect training for their lamb shearing record attempt 😜🤪💪 @InnovisLtd #sheep365 #foragefed
Tailing day at home, plenty of family members making light work of 1,231 lambs. Eric in charge of lamb pen. 1.55% lambs/ewes put to the ram. Pretty happy with that. Outdoor lambing NZ texels.
We will be attempting to break the current 2 stand 9 hour British lamb record at our family farm, august 12th. We are raising money more for the @dpjfoundation & the farming community network. Follow the facebook page to keep up to date. 🐑 ✂️#sheepshearing
Thankyou Bobby 😂 Shearing this week at a fantastic big scale lamb finishing operation in the north.
It’s truly an honour and a privilege to have Twitter royalty here shearing fattening hoggs. @NickGreaves1

Great effort by @NickGreaves1 and Olive for shearing 268 Suffolk and Aberfield lambs today! Not sure I was needed to be honest! #nextgen #girlpower #sheep365 @InnovisLtd

Ewes settling in to there lambing paddocks. Set stocked at 5/acre. Great condition wintered inside on silage, shorn in jan. 2 weeks to go 🤞🏼 – at Eccleshall, England

Mom and my bro rich did brave the shave yesterday. Rich ran a marathon followed by cycling 100 miles, mom helping me get through 504 ewes at home before I shore her myself.
