Welcome to our farm! We are celebrating our 43rd year of raising Finnsheep. We bought our first 3 finns - one ram and 2 ewes - in 1982. The first year as yearlings the ewes had a set of twins and quads and we were hooked! We are now one of the largest breeders of Finnsheep in the US. We have been breeding the R gene into our original bloodlines since 2013. We have enough different bloodlines to provide unrelated animals from both our original bloodlines and our RR / QR animals for your flock. We raise all colors including brown, black, gray, white, badger (black, gray and brown) and pied (brown, black and gray). We breed for productivity, size, milking ability, good mothering and docile animals. We are happy to offer suggestions.
​
​In 2019 we had our first set of 8 lambs from one ewe - Queen, 3L 13-259. We have had several sets of 7 but never expected that this ewe was carrying 8. All babies were born alive. In 2018 Queen had sextuplets. Her bloodline is consistently productive - Grandma is Miss 7-Up - 3L 11-281 - who is a septuplet who had sextuplets at age 9. Augustus is her son of that cross.
This will be the last year we will have sheep. It is time to retire and move on to another episode in our life. ​​The price listed is picked up at our farm. We do not sell animals via this website. If you find an animal you like please contact us.

Welcome you to our Farm!
It is our 43rd Anniversary!
Our Rams
We expect our rams to be tall, have long bodies with a great fleeces and be out of ewe lines with a proven history of high productivity. You will see an occasional single or twin in our line up (usually out of a yearling ewe in an animal with the R gene) but most of them are triplets or higher. We do not have an aggressive ram on the property - in fact most of them come up for attention when we are in the pen.
Our Ewes
We have been breeding our sheep with one goal in mind - to raise animals who produce well, have great mothering ability, nice fleeces and are easy to work with. Our image of a great ewe has a good long frame, straight legs, large udder and the body capacity to carry large litters of lambs. We have found that these ewes can cross well with any breed. We expect our animals to be respectful, although most of them are like large dogs and follow us everywhere. Our ewe are expected to be good mothers, lamb by themselves and produce a good supply of milk.
