Manx Loaghtan

Magnus gets around on his travels! I love that the person who made this has taken photos of him all over the island! I look forward to seeing where he gets to next #TravelsWithMagnus #crochetkit #manxloaghtan #wool #isleofman

@DarbyshireAdele My cover is blown! Most people assume it is my partner who does X and not a woman!

@MLProduce It was so good to see you on Northwest news last night - a face behind the X page

We had the honour of presenting our sheep to king Charles at Government House for his visit to the Isle of Man. It was very humbling that as he walked on he thanked us for keeping these endangered sheep. Thank you to the Governor & lady Lorimer for including us. # RoyalVisit

@feathersong Thank you, it was an amazing day and brilliant publicity for these endangered sheep

@MLProduce Congratulations on a wonderful honor for you and showcasing your fabulous sheep.

@MICHAELWELBECK Thank you, it has been quite a day!

@MLProduce Fantastic! You are both heroes!

@Wattybird I did have to curtsey but not that well! I felt so honoured to be chosen to meet King Charles. What really pleases me was the attention & publicity these wonderful sheep got

@MLProduce S'pose this means I'll have to curtsey when I reply to your tweets now....🙄 (Seriously, what an honour) 👏

@DarbyshireAdele It was an amazing day, I didn’t sleep well last night as I had nightmares about the sheep escaping into the beautiful Government house gardens!

@MLProduce Something to remember for you all - well done

@MLProduce - were those your sheep meeting the King today on the island ? How lovely for you 🤩

@bichonsandabc I’ve actually spelled it wrong - it’s CLIK, google it

@MLProduce Interesting, I haven’t heard of Clix before, I bet the sheep love not being constantly annoyed. Now I’m off to see if it’s available here in north Florida; with our subtropical climate I’m sure the sheep would love a respite from them. Have a good week & thanks for the tip.

As it now fly season we have just sprayed all the lambs with Clix, anti-fly treatment that last 3 months. Here they are returning to their mums who are all lying in the shade #manxloaghtan #lambs #rarebreed #antiFlyStrike #farming #isleofman

@Joi_the_Artist She is still the queen!

@MLProduce Big Mel is an unbothered queen. Love her.

Shearing today, we did some of the ewes…..here’s Big Mel, her fleece was huge but as you can see she is still a big girl underneath all that wool! #BigMel #shearing #wool #farming #isleofman

@RichardPalm8 Yes!

@MLProduce She’s a DARLING!!! Will this Year upcoming be Her first Year to be put to the Ram???

Sitting in one of the wildflower meadows I picked all the different grasses I could see around me. I found 9 without having to move my bum and get up! #wildflowermeadow #grasses #naturefriendlyfarming #biodiversity #biosphereIOM #isleofman

@RichardPalm8 Bluebell is getting quite big, this was her just after she’d been sheared

@MLProduce Biodiversity at its BEST!!! I’ll bet that adds to the quality of feeding for Your Sheep!!! BRILLIANT!!! I hope All is Well there!! Please accept My sincere Greetings and Well wishes!!! How’s Bluebell???

Checking sheep 2 days ago, came across one of our big girls, Daisy looking very smart after shearing. She is half Loaghtan but looks more Suffolk and was as friendly as always begging for treats! #sheep #BigCharacter #wool #farming #isleofman

@MICHAELWELBECK Thank you 😊

Few finer placesvto visit!

One of the groups on our farm visits, this group from France loved seeing Manx Loaghtan sheep. It was so lovely to see their excitement at seeing the sheep. Contact us for details about visits hello@manxloaghtanproduce.com #BallacosnahanFarm #manxloaghtan #rarebreed #isleofman

Learning to come, sit and lie down is tiring work……along with swimming in the pond, chasing through the long grass! #sheepdog #sheepdogtraining #puppiesareexhausting #sheepfarm #farming #isleofman
