Stainton Texels
of Storth End Farm, Stainton near Kendal are breeders of award-winning Texel sheep. The hardy Texel breed is a popular lean meat sheep which is renowed for its exceptional
versatility and
carcass qualities
.
Its exceptional
lamb growth rate has proved a
modern breed solution for many sheep producers, who are adapting to meet the challenges of producing sheep meat in a difficult UK environment. The
Texel's
versatility has also been recognised by upland and hill farmers who use the
breed
to their advantage in producing a more marketable product.
The breed
originates from the island of Texel, off the north-west
of Holland.
In 1970
Texels
were introduced to the United Kingdom
and they have since
developed
into
a large, prolific and well
-
muscled sheep,
the most dominant terminal sire breed within the UK.
The Texels have shown that they are capable of withstanding the rigours of the Scottish winter without hardship and their progeny have proved to be
just
as adaptable in our climate and altitude as
f
locks in Holland and France.
Visitors and enquiries are always welcome at Storth End Farm
