JUST BROWSING photo by Sue Stewart
Our mission is to support and advance agriculture in the Hudson-Catskills region, realizing this with Romney sheep — the world’s most important dual-purpose breed.
Our vision is to be the first place in the country to which people look for seedstock Romneys.
Our goals
- true dual-purpose sheep
- flock fertility above the the breed average
- uniformity of fleeces within and between animals
- improving the breed from within
- keep in balance with indigenous wildlife
- soil health
- work safety
Some objectives:
- wean 1.6 lambs for every ewe exposed
- sell >500 lbs of fleece/year direct to handspinners or yarn mills
- have 10% of lambs each year that are “recessively colored”
- place high in all shows we go to
- flock free of ovine progressive pneumonia and caseous lymphadenitis
- reputation for high ethical standards
- accident-free farm
