Sheep home for the winter.

Sheep in summer pasture

We haven’t mentioned this before, but we have had a sheep flock for over twenty years. It now numbers about 130 ewes with about 20 being Suffolk and the balance white faced with a few speckle faced. About three-fourths of the flock have been raised as we keep back 10-20 replacement ewe lambs each year. We sell some as well. The white faced are primarily Dorset crosses with some Rambiloatt, Finn, and Columbia with a few Texels added recently. We have both Suffolk and white faced rams. If you want some nice ewe lambs, please let us know. Pictured are primarily crossbred lambs although we also have a significant number of white faced as well as some Suffolk lambs.

New added to the flock this year are Navajo Churro sheep. Two rams, one white and one red mesa-colored, and ten ewes of various colors. Will have their wool for sale, as well as their breeding stock lambs in the spring of 2003.
