I am new to the sheep farming and was wondering is there any sheep schemes or grans to be got?

I have currently 45 ewes and hoping to have about 65!!

TAMS is the only one I am aware of - for fencing & handling facilities.

In order to be eligible to participate in the Programme:
(a) Farmers must have a minimum flock size of 30 breeding sheep, (based on either
the 2011 or 2012 Sheep and Goat Census).

30 but they may be flexible, if you're under ask your facilitator there might be a way.
