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.

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.
