- Now the count down begins for lambing season 2024. Approximately 145 days till we see our first lambs.
Zwartbles Ireland is a small company run from a farm in County Kilkenny in Ireland. We are a regenerative farm which means restoring soils health and regenerating its natural carbon and nutrient cycle with biodiversity of pasture sward with grasses, legumes, forbs and herbs. This also means we farm with nature. Healthy soils are important for healthy environment. So we encourage all life from the microbial to dung beetles, ants, pollinators to flora biodiversity, birds, hare, hedgehogs, rabbits, fox, badger as well as our livestock. This mean we farm in a style of mob grazing and giving fields long rest times between grazings. We have seen a huge increase and return of wildlife including woodcock and snipe in winter months foraging for dung beetle larvae, red squirrel, wood peckers and pine martens. We also have the rare natter bat and previously thought extinct Tawny Mining bees.
We sell, Zwartbles sheep, Zwartbles blankets and yarn made from the sheep, and calendars featuring Inca the World's Smallest Sheepdog and her coworkers. We also sell alpaca yarn spun for our own alpaca. Our yarns are 100 percent natural, grown by our sheep which grazing our small green Irish fields. This wool is naturally sequestered carbon which you can then knit into warm environmental friendly clothing.

I've almost made a complete circle with watching videos of your sheep farm. I found you in April during lambing season and have been following you ever since. Your videos are both beautiful and educational. Looking forward the lambing season 2024!
Glad to hear that you’re still enjoying my videos
It was rather like one of those puzzles where you have to move the pieces round the board! I bet you're glad that the weather was good for it! ❤
Muy bien
This is hilarious!
Hello , thanks for this good nature vidéo see you later my friend have a good day 👋 👋 👋
A very busy day for you for sure. How exciting! Glad the sorting went smooth and all are in good spirits. I saw Krystal, Ear-feather and Littlebit in with Hickory. The 5 new ewes are with Hickory and easy to spot as they've been dragged. April 10th is 5 month, 5 days. I marked my calendar. LAMBS!! 🙂♥️
Boombyeyah, they’re done🤭
And the countdown begins. So exciting!
Do you have to worry about foot rot coming back in with the new sheep?
Hopefully not as the flock they came from doesn’t seem to have an issue
