It鈥檚 lambing time for Lyn and Ricky Rennie鈥檚 flock of pedigree Devon Closewool sheep, near Hatherleigh. Sarah Swadling hears how the first generation farmers founded the flock in 2016 with just nine ewes. Seven years later they are enjoying considerable show ring success alongside a meat box business. Lyn and Ricky tell Sarah how they met at school and finally realised their dream of getting a farm in 2021, after years of hard work and searching for a tenancy. Sarah also learns about the history of the Devon Closewool breed, once the mainstay of sheep farming in the county but now on the Rare Breeds Survival Trust鈥檚 watchlist.
