Sheep

Our sheep flock and products are called balmerino™. The sheep are a combination of a Merino crossed with other Scottish breeds. This cross has been developed to create a sheep that has the hardiness to thrive in the Scottish climate and additionally fine, luxurious wool, so soft it can be worn next to the skin. The flock are managed organically; certified by the Soil Association and are also certified by Pasture For Life.
