Although the breed has Leicester in its title the Leicester Longwool Sheep Breeders Association was formed in Driffield and has become an East Riding sheep institution. This year it has been celebrating its 130th anniversary with big numbers at many local agricultural shows including at Driffield Showground.
One of the first estates to have taken on Leicester Longwool sheep was Sledmere Hall & Estate and just five years ago they returned when the farm park was born. Sledmere-born Laura Clark had been involved at the racing stables run at Sledmere by Declan Carroll when in her teens and was enticed to return when the move was made back towards having horses.
We go to Malton, Huby & Sutton, Great Yorkshire, Driffield, Ryedale, Thornton le Dale, Masham and also the Rare Breed Show & Sale, plus others where we can get to. “I’m always looking at different shows where we can go to next. It all helps promote the estate and the farm park. Laura’s love of Shires remains undiminished. “We started with a pony, an ex-racehorse and a Shire.
