The Sheep Centre describes itself as a dedicated sheep artificial breeding company (rather than a small-animal veterinary clinic). The website focuses on sheep reproduction work—such as semen freezing and assisted breeding—and also offers training (including cervical AI training). Recent Google reviews, however, largely discuss a public-facing sheepdog demonstration: visitors describe an evening/weekly demo led by a host and family team, with multiple dogs of different ages and training stages, and the chance to meet the dogs before the demo.
