Quality Finns since 1982
Welcome to our farm! We retired last year. Our sheep were a big part of our life for 43 years. We had a lot of fun raising our finns. We started out with 3 sheep in 1982. We were so impressed with them that we bought the entire flock of one of the original importers when he retired. From that original flock of all white sheep we added all the colors - black, brown, gray, fawn, pied and badgers (brown, gray and black). We were constantly amazed by the productivity and good nature of these animals. While quads and quints were common, we had our first set of 8 born in 2019 - an exciting moment for sure! While we will miss the lambing we are looking forward to see whatever happens next.
​
We will continue to sell wool and wool products through our shop on Etsy. The shop is listed under HughesEwes. We sell raw, washed and carded wool as well as Baby Photo Props - felted sheepskins, felted blankets and basket fluff. ​
​
I sold the majority of my flock to a shepherd in Selah, Washington which about 60 miles from us. She is going to continue with both my original flock bloodlines as well as the bloodlines carrying the R gene. The sheep were very happy going to her 40 acres of pasture! Here is her contact information:

I know she will be happy to talk sheep and sell you the great bloodlines she is now breeding.

Welcome you to our Farm!
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.
