Beltex member Sally Lloyd wins Solway Recycling Lamb Warming Box

Sally Lloyd has benefited from entering a Beltex Sheep Society competition sponsored by Solway Recycling by winning the prize of a Lamb Warming Box which was recently featured on BBC’s Lambing Live. Beltex Sheep Society members had to answer questions connected to recycling, they could send their answers in by post, or via the Solway Recycling website.

Sally farms at Stonycroft Farm, Luston, Leominster and established her Beltex flock with the purchase of a ewe at the Chelford sale from Peter Kenyon. Sally plans to increase her Beltex flock as she describes the Beltex as a “great breed for crossing with any hill or lowland breed to produce lambs that buyers look to purchase for the export and home market.” Sally would also like to establish a flock of crossbred Beltex ewes as she considers that “Beltex bloodlines in the female breeding flock produces fantastic lambs.” Sally produces lambs for the spring market and sells her lambs in Ludlow Mart.

Sally was pleased she did not need her Lamb Warming box for the recent addition of a tup lamb to her Beltex flock – but considered the lamb warmer an excellent product which is easily cleaned and works really well. After taking delivery of her prize Sally viewed the Solway Recycling web site and found numerous products of interest for use on the farm.

Solway Recycling was established in 1992 and is currently one of the longest and most established waste farm plastic recyclers in the world. The new Solway Lamb Warming Box can be supplied flat packed or erected ready to use complete with a convector heater. This Lamb Warming Box has four compartments, but is easily adjusted into two or three warm spaces to suit the size of lambs, all guaranteed to give weak lambs the best possible chance of reviving. The Lamb Warming Box provides a constant flow of warm air to heat up lambs suffering from Hypothermia. In addition to the Lamb Warming Box Solway Recycling also provide Lambing pens, Lamb adopters and Lamb creep shelter and feeders.

Chris Mellon from Solway Recycling said “Solway were pleased to sponsor the competition with the Beltex Sheep Society and recognised the impact and influence the Beltex has on todays sheep industry, Solway Recycling always listens to our customers feedback so working alongside sheep breeders allows us to continually improve our products year in year out and we look forward to providing many more new products to Beltex Sheep Society members in the future.”
