The Wiston flock of Texel Sheep specializes in breeding high quality Texels from pure Dutch bloodlines. All my breeding stock comes from the island of Texel in Holland where the breed has its origin. Over the years, the flock has become well known for its consistency and uniformity. Regular buyers of Wiston Texels expect breeding stock with the typical muscular shape coupled with good looks. Wiston Texels are always in demand.

With this website I hope to bring the Wiston flock of Dutch Texels a little closer to you. Updates are made as and when necessary but mainly in the spring and during the summer with information and lots of photos of breeding stock for sale.

Update November 2008

The autumn of 2008 is drawing to a close and all of my ewes are hopefully in lamb. Scanning will take place at the end of November or early December. Wiston Marathon Man sired two of my replacement stock rams, Netsky and Native Blue and the purchase of Lighthouse 3938 3943 has added a new exciting bloodline from the Commandeur stable on Texel Island. For photos and information of Stock sires please clickon the rams tab. Ram sales have been very good this year and there was flying demand for shearling rams, which was probably due to buyers holding back last year, with the uncertainty over Bluetongue and extensive movement restrictions. There are about twenty ram lambs which will go through to next year's shearling ram sales and a good choice of around thirty females.
