North Devon mixed farm to host NSA Sheep South West 2025

 Organisers of NSA Sheep South West are excited to announce that the popular event will return next year. Kindly hosted by the Stanbury family, NSA Sheep South West will take place on Wednesday 25th June at Weston Farm, East Knowstone. South Molton, Devon EX36 4ED.

Visitors to the event will be able to enjoy a tour of family’s beef and sheep enterprise that has grown to 500 acres plus additional rented and common grazing. 

The farm currently lambs 980 ewes plus ewe lambs outside in April and is upping sheep numbers. The current flock includes some North Country and Suffolk Mules, put to Texel tups, but the predominant breeds are now Romneys. The farm is also venturing into wool shedding breeds with Easycare and Exlana ewes. All sheep are finished off of grass and herbal leys with the majority of sheep (and cattle) overwintered outside. 

In addition to the sheep flock the farm has 145 spring calving suckler cows, mostly native breeds, and is home to the Knowstone pedigree herd of Red Ruby Devon cattle.
