"Same buyers. Same loads. Every autumn."
About John Wood
A specialist trader of breeding sheep and store lambs.
John Wood has been buying and selling sheep across the British Isles for thirty years. The same hill farms send their drafts down to the farm every autumn. Buyers from across the UK come back to him, year after year.
John sources to order. Tell him the breed, the type, the number and the date. He'll find them, draw them, and have them on the lorry to your farm.
We farm 600 acres in Dorset. We lamb 1,200 ewes a year, finish 300 cattle to 24 months, and fatten 3,000 hoggets each season.
"In livestock, reputation travels faster than our lorries."
