Brief description of your farm and/or business (for your online profile).
Our goals at Shepherd's Hey Farm are 1) to produce beautiful, high quality and versatile wool fleeces for handspinning in a full range of natural colors; 2) to produce healthy and delicious meat (lamb and mutton); 3) to showcase the value of sheep and wool through our products, 4) to embrace responsible agricultural practices, including the highest standards of animal welfare and environmental conservation and stewardship; and 5) to increase awareness of and support for the benefits of local agriculture generally and sheep and wool specifically.
Our sheep are crosses of a number of breeds we've chosen to produce exceptional and versatile fleeces: mostly Corriedale, Romney, Border Leicester & Romeldale. These crosses also result in excellent carcass qualities. We make selected individuals available for sale as breeding animals to others who value these qualities.
