I have to admit I really like sheep. As kids, my siblings and I had sheep for a 4-H project, and I couldn't’t wait until we could get some for our own farm.
Our choice for sheep is Cormo, a medium sized sheep covered with beautiful fine wool. Our Cormos have adjusted well to Wisconsin life. We traveled to Wyoming and Montana to obtain breeding stock . We are undertaking a selection process with our Cormos to continually improve wool quality and lamb growth as well as insure they maintain their low maintenance nature. We do cover our girls to protect their wool. This means changing their lightweight nylon coats multiple times a year to keep up with wool growth.
We have a few other breeds of sheep as well including Icelandics and Blue Faced Leicesters. We enjoy a little variety, and we do like the Blue Faced Leicester as a crossing breed with the Cormos.
The Wool and Yarn page shows a variety of great wool product from our sheep. Our Grass Fed Lamb page offers more information on our lamb.
