The Farms

We are proud to introduce our team of nine project farms that are part of RamCompare; providing the data on which the project depends.

Four new farms joined RamCompare in autumn 2021 (two from Wales, one from Scotland and one from England). Each participant has an interest in data collection and flock recording. Through RamCompare, we will investigate which rams have the best genetic merit for their farming systems.

RamCompare is only possible due to the hard work, good will and I suspect a great deal of tolerance put into the project by these amazing commercial sheep farmers. 

Farms currently involved in the project include:-

• Ian Robertson, Chawton Park, Alton, Hampshire
• Duncan Nelless, Thistleyhaugh Farm, Northumberland
• Adrian and Lyn Coombe, Dupath Farm, Cornwall
• Mark & Lynne Exelby, The Hutts Farm, Ripon
• Owen Gray – Saughland Farm, Midlothian
• Alwyn Nutting - Glascoed Farm, Powys
• Stephen Abberley - Cwmlliw Farm, Powys
• Charles Sercombe - Sandlands Farm, Leicestershire
• ChazCompare - Andrew Walton and Jamie Wild, Rutland
