Our Thistle crop has reduced over the years as I’ve farmed this land. My flock used to annually get Orf. Now few to none get this nasty problem as thistle numbers in fields decrease. 



Zwartbles Ireland is a small company run from a farm in County Kilkenny in Ireland. We sell, Zwartbles sheep, Zwartbles blankets and yarn made from the sheep, and calendars featuring the Cats Shepherd Bodacious and Inca the World's Smallest Sheepdog.
