Welcome to our Vault Flock Website

We have been keeping and breeding Hebrideans for almost 20 years and have been involved in showing since 2012. All our stock are registered with the Hebridean Sheep Society.

We chose to keep Hebrideans as they are a small and hardy primitive breed and very easy to handle, especially for those starting out with sheep as their first livestock.

Over the years our flock has expanded and our freezer is always full.

We can now offer our lambs for sale, either for breeding, grass cutting or for your freezer.

In May this year we attended the Royal Welsh Spring Show and were awarded 2 firsts with our older ram Vault Rafferty and with Vault Aurora our shearling ewe. Aurora then went on to win overall Champion

Flock Summary

We now only keep and breed true 2 horn Hebrideans - (all bloodlines are from 2 horn stock) .

Current rams used for tupping are Cinderhill Titus bred by Caroline FitzGerald and Pengrove Crivens! bred by Judy Kingston.These two replaced Sycamore Inverlochy .

Our ewes all have connections with Sycamore and Cinderhill flocks

We did not attend the RWAS in 2024 but over the years we have been well placed in various shows, including The Royal Welsh in May 2022 where we came away with a 1st in the Ewe with Lambs class with Vault Snowfire , a 2nd in the Senior Ram class with Vault Apollo and 1st in the Group of 3 class.

In 2019 we were happy to take two 1st places at Moreton with Shearling Ram ( Vault Theo ), and Ram Lamb (Vault Thunder). We later attended the Royal Berkshire (Newbury Show) in September that year and remember how delighted we were to win the Reserve Champion with Vault Theo .

Our flock

The Vault Flock started in 2004, when we purchased 3 ewe lambs from Cotswold Farm Park. These three Hebrideans were purchased as pets and used as lawnmowers when we lived on the Malverns.

The following year we decided to start breeding.

In November 2005 a proven ram Rye End Sebastian arrived on loan from local breeders Neil and Katie Anderson. This was the ram that started our "Vault" flock. Hebridean Sheep Society Flock No:5717

Having moved to the Lincolnshire Wolds we used Bearslair Captain and later purchased Cillimore Rhum from the York sale, who was the sire of our Vault Victor.

Stock numbers have fluctuated over the years.

Our breeding stock has been purchased over the years, privately as well as from Melton Mowbray Rare Breeds Show, and includes such flock names as Carrcross, Cinderhill, Jet, Skipwith, Sturch's Barn, & Sycamore .

All our sheep are born, reared and grazed on site and on local traditional pastures covering some 8 acres.

Stock for Sale - 2026

We have been selling our lambs for a number of years to Wildlife Trusts, HSS breeders, and to those just starting out wanting good quality stock for a flock of their own or for keeping in the freezer.

All our stock is registered with the Hebridean Sheep Society and of course so are all our lambs. Any lamb sold is fully tagged, injected and has a full set of registration documents.

This year our ram, Cinderhill Titus has run with 10 of our ewes.

A list of all our stock can be found online along with pedigrees. Click to view .

Ram Hire

In the past few years we have hired various rams, both 2 and 4 horned, including those that have been well placed in various shows. We now only have true 2 horn rams for hire

We can offer you a choice from a number of quality rams - either proven rams or ram lambs which would happily tup a small or large number of ewes.

Shearling rams (b2025) will be available for tupping later next year as well as some proven senior rams.

6 registered rams were hired out in 2024/25

Hire would typically be from November to January. Booking in advance would save disappointment!

Fleeces for Sale

We are happy to sell our fleeces for whatever project you may have, be that spinning, felting or filling soft toys.

The colours of the fleeces vary from sheep to sheep and are naturally somewhat subjective, but broadly the fleeces are

(1) Dark Brown/Black,
(2) Brown & Silver Grey
(3) Brown.

All fleeces are professionally shorn, typically in late June on wooden boards this year (later than normal due to the wet weather)- so almost free of grass and straw. Any obvious poo has been removed when they were sorted and rolled up.

Please note that each fleece had been unrolled at home to remove any debris etc. It has then been rerolled and put in a bag for shipment. In this process the fleece gets pulled about so when you take it out the bag it will not be as whole as when first rolled in the field.

All the fleeces are unwashed, hence lanolin rich & straight off the sheep's back!

Prices start at £13.50 for a fleece of weight over 1kg - and £16 for a fleece over 1.9kg. These prices also include postage to you via Royal Mail.

Tried Authentic Hebridean?

The meat of the Hebridean has a unique and distinct taste. It is ideal as a roasted joint or made into casseroles and tagines. It can be purchased directly from us as boxed meat at certain times of the year. It’s not just us - Hebridean meat is in demand by top chefs and restaurateurs as it lends itself well to gourmet meals.

Our lambs are reared until they are approximately 15 months old, which we feel is the perfect age for the combination of tenderness, flavour and size. They are allowed to develop and grow slowly, giving a high quality meat, low in fat and full of taste. At this age they are classed and sold as hogget.

This slow to mature way yields a lean but very flavoursome meat with a thin covering of fat.

Slaughter is at our local private abattoir at Leintwardine where they prepare the carcass to our specific requirements. The carcass is typically 20+kg or a little more before cutting up.

We will have a small number of lambs available from about 1st October 2026 - feel free to contact us if interested and we can keep you advised.
