Our hogget is a primitive rare breed Manx Loaghtan, native to the Isle of Man. Naturally grown to over 12 months of age, they are 100% grass fed. Fine boned and late maturing, Manx produce a dark meat that is naturally rich and succulent, with a distinctive taste and intense flavour – similar to that of game. As well as being tastier than commercial lamb, it is also healthier, having less fat and cholesterol.

The quality of our meat reflects the diets and livelihoods our flocks enjoy.
Naturally grown to over 12 months of age, they are 100% grass fed on flora rich Leicestershire pastures, free from herbicides and fertilizers.
There are 56 sheep breeds native to Britain, which is more than there are anywhere else in the world. Twenty-two of these breeds on the Rare Breeds Survival Trust Watchlist, as there are now very few of them. There are four breeds that are classed as primitive: Soay, Hebridean, Manx Loughtan, Shetland, Broreray and North Ronaldsay. These are sheep which have been “unimproved” by the introduction of other breeds, often having originated in remote, island communities. Many have developed unique characteristics over time, which make them perfect for their environment.
We are supporting farmers to rear rare breeds to ensure their survival. They have better tasting meat, however because they are not considered commercial, they have become less popular to farmers over the years.
