Kerry Reid, Two Bridges Romney

​

My family and I moved to our 60ac farm in Paynedale about 13 years ago after we decided 8.5 ac block wasn’t big enough.
As a child my family used to spend holidays on my dads cousins merino farm I’m Waigin, WA and I just loved it. My dad was also a ranger and he often bought home orphaned lambs which we would raise and this is where I found my love for sheep and all animals.
I have a BA in Fine Art and I love the textiles side of art and love to create. I had always wanted to learn how to spin wool and so my search for a long wool breed began and I eventually settled on Romney’s. As they are extremely rare in WA it’s very costly to import new bloodlines into WA but I’m committed to improving the bloodlines.
I try to promote the Romney’s and other heritage sheep breeds here in the Southwest of WA. I also have a couple of Cheviots and along with some other breeders we take out heritage sheep to the Perth Royal show and other agricultural shows in the Southwest.
