So...you've done your research
and you are a novice, looking for foundation stock,
or a pro looking to expand your current flock.
Congratulations! We are happy to help you in any way we can.
Your questions are always welcome here,
whether we have the sheep you need...or not.
For us, it's not about making a sale,
it's about making a shepherd!
Our farm participates in the Federal Volunteer Scrapies program, and vaccinates with CD/T to insure the health of our stock. We are willing to ship animals using commercial airlines or professional transport, and can help you make the arrangements.
We love our sheep. Each member of the flock is known, named and handled. They have been carefully shepherded and enjoy the company of people!

** A WORD OF CAUTION BEFORE BUYING A RAM** One of the most important criteria for your ram is horn width. You should be able to fit your fist between the bottom sweep of the horn and the ram's cheek. If the ram's horns are too narrowly set, it can impede the ram's ability to chew (side to side) as well as create entanglement hazards. Horn trimming will be the unpleasant future for both you and the ram. Breeding rams with poor horn genetics perpetuates the cycle. When choosing a ram for breeding purposes, choose a ram whose horns have developed to the bottom sweep. Look at the horn development on both sides of a ram lamb's lineage if purchasing a lamb with immature horn. Also, ask to see the ram that produced your ewes, and ensure that they, too, carry good genetics for horn development. Ram lambs are often a great "bargain" in the spring, and cull rams can be offered *free* with the purchase of ewes. Choose your ram with care. Realize that the ram's genetics are in 100% of your next year's offspring, and invest wisely for the future of your flock, and for the future of the breed.
If you do not see a particular sheep, please inquire.
We may have just what you are looking for!
