Dalby Sheep breeding enterprise is based at Sandlands Farm, in the Wreake valley just to the south of Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire.
We have two breeds of sheep, Charollais and Lleyn, two different, yet complimentary breeds that we believe will have a major impact on the future of sheep breeding in the UK.
The Charollais, now a major terminal sire breed favoured for its ease of lambing, quick growth and natural fleshing, continues to increase its influence in the UK sheep industry.
The Lleyn, a maternal breed with an unsurpassed combination of proflificany, milkiness and ease of management, is becoming widely recognised as a solution to managing a modern productive sheep flock post mid term review.
At Dalby we have alway tried to improve the quality of our stock, in the belief that progress is essential to promote ecconomical stock. We also have strict recording and selection policies that help to determine the genetics that consistently produce results.
Our ultimate aim being to breed sheep that are true to breed type but carry superior genetics and will consistently pass these to their progeny.
