I've been involved in the sheep industry now for 27 years. I believe it is essential to maintain structural correctness along with substance, and strong muscle, bone, and growth. My ewes and rams have been consistently productive for both the purebred and commercial breeders. My flock is certified B-Ovis Free, #109. Visitors are always welcome.

We have worked with Suffolks since 1977 and have endeavored to breed a flock of efficient, money-making ewes. We are enrolled in the voluntary scrapie flock certification program. We have tested over half of our ewes for scrapie and codon 171. We have now had exclusively QR or RR rams for three years. Expected to be certified scrapie-free in April 2007. Visitors are always welcome.
