Manx Loaghtan

@weiske_a Thank you, exciting but not looking forward to the sleep deprivation!

@MLProduce Exciting times for you all, humans and the girls! I am curious to see the first sweet little lambs! Fingers crossed that all goes well 💖🐑🐑🐑!

Our pregnant girls days away from lambing. We’ll bring them in to the lambing shed in 2 days. #manxloaghtan #rarebreed #lambing #farming #isleofman

@manxmannin Beautiful sharp photo

Purple Sandpiper (Calidris maritima) #isleofman 🇮🇲 #nature

@Nesquik1962 She is definitely Fagin’s type, he would love her💕

@MLProduce Could you perhaps do a go fund me to fly him to Central Park New York 😍😂 x.com/StellaH0777380…

Fagin spent most of the afternoon gobbling at his own reflection on the patio doors. Poor fella, I tried to distract him with treats but he kept going back #turkeys #turkeysarefun #farming #farmyardgossip #isleofman

@EquipProChina Not yet but we still have a week to get it all ready

@MLProduce 😊 The countdown begins! 💕 Ewes looking good and ready for lambing! 🐑 How's the prep work coming along? Everything set up for the big event?

My beautiful ewes, due to start lambing in 10-12 days. They are getting to the waddling stage #manxloaghtan #rarebreed #lambing26 #farming #isleofman

@EquipProChina She is due any time from end of March to mid April

@MLProduce 😂 Haha, Adele's got the energy! 🥰 Twins, you think? When's she due?

Heavily pregnant Adele (Big Mel’s granddaughter, Nell’s daughter) still jumping up to get the best hay - she’s clearly done her antenatal Pilates classes! From her shape I think it’s twins #lambing26 #farming #isleofman

@RichardPalm8 Correct, no horns!

@MLProduce Bluebell doesn’t have Horns as I recall!!

@RichardPalm8 Nell and that line of offspring have quite a mixture of horn types! It’s always a surprise. Lambing starts in about 11 days

@MLProduce Nell’s Daughter ( while white Fleeced) has Manx Loaghtan Horns!!! Does Bluebell have Horns??? How soon before it’s Lambing time???

@Wattybird Well spotted! I videoed her this afternoon jumping up at the hay, she looks as if she has twins. I’ll download the video tomorrow

@MLProduce Did I spot Adele in there?

@Joi_the_Artist Big Mel is a one off and couldn’t care what anyone says - Big Mel has always done whatever she wants!

@MLProduce WHO'S TALKING CRAP ABOUT BIG MEL LET ME AT 'EM

I’ve 100s of pure Manx Loaghtans but famous for my 3 large crossbred girls, Big Mel, Daisy and Milly. Someone unkindly called them my 3 fat ladies. Whatever you do don’t open a packet of ginger nut biscuits…you’ll be flattened in the rush! #3fatladies #greedy #sheep #isleofman

Saw the first primrose on the farm… always makes me smile #spring #primrose #wildflowers #farming #lovemyfarm #isleofman

@amazinganiamals More fake AI rubbish. X please regulate this and insist they are clearly labeled as AI

@igenolevy I hate AI, it seems every other post is fake AI

She serves a living God😱😱

Beautiful end to a beautiful day #sunset #lovemyfarm #peaceful #manxloaghtans #rarebreed #isleofman

@suzyp50 We adore Big Mel and wouldn’t change any of her!

@suzyp50 I think Big Mel sees being a fat lady as a badge of honour…..especially if rewarded with a biscuit!

@weiske_a I feel very strongly that ever little bit helps wildlife. We have given about 25 acres for the wetlands but every garden, part of a garden matters too

@MLProduce That sounds absolutely great! As a biologist, my heart is jumping! I cross my fingers for financial support. But the initiative is yours 💖! We are trying it in our small garden (1200 squm) and are successful with birds. Mainly, because our actual cat is 16 years old now!

Last week we checked out our wetlands… we have frogspawn! Really pleased with how it is evolving. The Loaghtans did a great job last summer with their conservation grazing. Waiting for planning permission to start the next phase..exciting #wildlife #MWT #biosphereIOM #isleofman

@AngoraGoatLady They are beautiful and life is never dull with them around! They are so greedy and their antics to get food can be hilarious

@MLProduce I think they are beautiful!
