Details
|
We are a small farm and usually keep under 25 sheep. Our sheep are handmilked, so we breed for udder conformation and managability, not just production. Not every good milk producer who does well w/ a milk machine is going to be easy to milk by hand. Our 4H club kids learn their vet sciences here, so we are very vigilant about vet care. Many of these sheep are trained to lead. Many award winners in 4H Fair.
Our lambing survival rate is excellent.
Our crosses are EF mixed w/ Texel, Dorset, Finn. All high percentage EF.
Our goal in breeding has been a hearty EF who winters well, good legs, easy temperment and easy udder for handmiking.
We are not yet a legal dairy, but we do milk our sheep.
Original sire from Old Chatham.
