The Lincolnshire Home of Pedigree British Gotland Sheep

Welcome to Pedwardine Gotlands!

 

We are breeders of Pedigree British Gotland Sheep. On our pages you'll find out about the wonderful and unique British Gotland Sheep, the history of the breed, the benefits of choosing Gotlands, our love of our flock and our progress as smallholders.

You'll meet our favourite girls and boys, keep up to date with their exploits, share in their trials and tribulations, witness the joy of lambing and share the sadness in saying goodbye.

Spinners, felters and craftmakers can buy lustrous Gotland fleece and ask us questions on spinning and felting our wool.

If you're looking for a starter flock, a tup, breeding ewes or gotland lambs, have a look at the Gotland breeding stock we have for sale. We sometimes also have wethers for sale if you'd merely like some woolly lawnmowers!

Join us on our Gotland adventure...

A little bit about us

We are smallholders on a continuous learning curve. First and foremost we love our animals. We have six dogs, two cats, two donkeys, umpteen chickens and some eighty odd sheep. We run a largish vegetable garden and polytunnel. We grow a willow crop to help fuel our wood fired boiler. We try to be as self sufficient and as in synch with the environment as we can. We love keeping sheep and can't quite believe how amazing they are, very intelligent and often sneaky, always lovable and quickly forgiving, we feel so fortunate to have this opportunity in our lives and we want to share the sheer joy of it all.

What we do

We are passionate about sheep. We sell pedigree Gotland breeding stock to like-minded people and raw Gotland fleece to hand spinners, felters and craftmakers. We also sell Gotland lamb to high end butchers and discerning individuals who value both animal welfare and top quality meat.

We aim to sell pelts at some point in the future.

 

 

 

 

 

Who We Are

 

Barry paints amazing canvasses and mixed media on paper. He's sold work all over the world and has shown in the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition. He's taught fine art in the UK and Europe and has been an art lecturer.

Barry has owned a banana yellow suit (it was the 70's but I still think that's no excuse), likes a certain well-known brand of jelly babies (but not the black ones. He bites the legs off first to stop them from running away, I do the heads so they can't scream), dislikes 'funny tea' and fancies Flavia from Strictly.

 

Amanda sings jazz, blues and other stuff. She also is a picture framer, doer-up of tired furniture, ceramicist, cook and jeweller. If there's any activity within which she can be creative, there she will be. 

Amanda has had pillar-box red hair, was a scarey goth, a rockabilly, and, briefly, a very badly bleached blonde skinhead. It changed rather according to the boyfriend at the time! She would have married Johnny Depp if he'd asked her nicely...
