We are the "GAEL FLOCK"
We are "primitives", Our mums landed to join the Soays in 2021. We are Arnie, Adam and Adonis, born March, 2022. Arnie was the heaviest lamb Mossoay / Gael Flock ever had, weighing in at 4.22 Kilograms. Mum (Hosta) didn't half make a noise! We named this tup lamb ArnieSchwarzenneger.
The Hebrideans are NOT rare, as they have grown in popularity over the past number of years, due to their relative docile temperament and lustrous fleece. They are a larger breed than the Soays, and not so fussy about shelter.
Hebrideans also like to "climb", so we created a platform in their field for them to fight over.
The Hebrideans' dietary habits are not unlike the Soays', although the Hebrideans are a bit less disruptive and don't seem to eat the trees.
We started out with just four "Gael Girls", and we moved on all the females in 2022. We elected not to breed Hebrideans 2022 / 2023, as we preferred to concentrate on our Soays..
​
Arnie, Adam and Adonis are entires, well socialised, easy caught in a pen, and could be desirable as ornamental grazers / guard animals; buyers are sought for these Gael lads
