LEFT: Jackson, our former Stock Ram, having a feast on some cut branches - considering that in their native habitat there are no growing trees, this appetite is bizarre! Soays will eat "just about everything"!
.
RIGHT: Jackson won First Prize for Northern Short Tailed at Lanark Show, September 2014. He is SO(ay) Handsome. Unhaltered, as shown, Jackson excelled - by BUTTING the opposition with vigour! He's now living with his new flock in Western Isles
LEFT: Tender moment! Lamb needs a bit of TLC - mum EXHAUSTED! Pete steps in to help out...

These ones were born to TORMENT!
Bit of help with a bottle? three's too many!
Jackson, our former Stock Ram - at just 6 months old - has grown up to be a FINE FATHER! - and moved on to live with his new family in the Western Isles in 2018. We hear he has a new contract now in Lewis.
