Welcome to the Home Page. The Lincoln Longwool is one of the finest breeds of sheep ever seen in Britain. For centuries its wool brought untold riches to the east of England and financed most of the political ambitions of medieval English monarchs. Now sadly fallen on hard times as man-made fibres and Australian Merinos flood the garment and carpet market. Nevertheless and small and dedicated band of enthusiasts keep the breed going. This is one such flock. |
The Tardebigge Flock of Lincoln Longwool Sheep was eastablished 20 years ago and we have spent most of that time trying to achieve the impossible- big sheep with great wool! The website will tell you more about our flocks and the breed in general. We have had some excellent show results recently, this is the Royal Show breed champion in 2006 . Our relaxed two-shear is typical of our flock. Good sized lambs are what we aim for every year. |
