Bruno came here on the 28th September 2019 as a ram lamb along with his half-sisters Jasmine, Florence, Jemima and Tatty. They all came from the same fibre flock in South Wales and share the same dad who is a Coloured Leicester longwool ram called Kennedy. I had dreamt of adding some Coloured Leicester Longwools to the flock but couldn’t find any even remotely local to us and then I saw these beautiful crosses that had been bred for fibre and decided to spend some of my savings on a couple of ewe lambs and a ram lamb. Inevitably I came back with more sheep than intended but it was just impossible to choose… Bruno would of gone to the abattoir for meat along with the other male lambs but he was lucky and found his way here where he has since become a dad to 4 adorable lambs. Bruno has a stunning multi-toned grey fleece. He was shorn earlier in 2020 than most of the flock and his first fleece is waiting to be made into a felted rug or seat pads which when sold will bring back the money that I paid for his life. Bruno was completely unhandled when he came here but being friendly is in his breed genetics and his dad was a particularly good-natured friendly ram too. Bruno seems to of inherited his dads kind friendly nature and really loves a fuss. I am not certain if Bruno will remain an entire ram forever. He may at some point be castrated so he can spend his days grazing with his family and growing a beautiful fleece each year.
