Winter feeding in sheltered loafing areas ensures condition through colder months while pasture rotation maintains soil and animal health. Pairs are matched for structure and temperament, preserving the breed’s long coats and gentle dispositions that regional farms value.

Wooldridge Farm has earned trust among nearby small-scale homesteads for supplying stock suited to both grass-based operations and mixed-use properties. Detailed pedigree records support transparent planning for future breeding, helping maintain genetic diversity and health.
