Soil Association Organic Farm

The Blacklake Flock of Dorset Down Sheep

The flock was established in 2001 exclusively from a draught of ewes from Messrs W D Burroughs, Furley, near Axminster.  This flock is long established over several generations and is considered to be one of the best flocks of Dorset Downs, dominating the show ring for a considerable number of years. 

Rams are home-bred or purchased from other notable flocks which maintain pure Dorset Down bloodlines.

The Blacklake flock is farmed for its wool and meat.  Both of which are a very fine quality.

Shearling ewes are sold annually at the Society’s annual sale, generally held in July.  We also have a small number of home-bred shearling rams for sale which can be sold from the farm.  You are welcome to visit the farm to look at the flock at any time (by appointment)
