We strive to raise sheep that are easy going, great moms, and are pleasing to the eye as well as fit the breed standard. We also decided that we wanted to test all our sheep for the scrapie resistant gene and have tested them using Gene Check and test using the Coden 171 test.

We are upgrading our breeding stock and eventually want to have a 100% RR herd, but will not sacrifice our QQ and QR ewes that are good producers. We only use RR rams so can only produce QR and RR babies.

We test our babies each year and retain those that we think will contribute favorable to our breeding program. We have a limited number of QR and RR lambs for sale each year that we feel would be excellent contibutors to the breed. Go to our Breeding stock page to view our ewes and rams and visit our Lambs for sale page to see our babies. Email for questions.
