STILLMEADOW FINNSHEEP

The desire for sheep had its seeds planted many years ago when I studied Traditional American Crafts within Fine Arts at Syracuse University. Since then my destiny must have been predetermined. Weaving, spinning, pottery, & photography have all been consistent interests. But when I discovered Finnsheep, a greater passion developed... Working with pure Finn genetics has been exciting as my initial white flock has expanded to include a wide spectrum of natural color. Even more fascinating than the beautiful fleeces has been my study of Finnsheep fecundity. I am convinced there is no more capable maternal breed since Finns have the ability to raise quadruplet lambs unassisted... Stillmeadow has raised prolific Finnsheep since 1994, a maternal breed which has both white and natural colored fleece and gives multiple lambs. Finns are a multi purpose breed which can increase a flocks lambing percentage, provide high quality wool fiber, and offer quick growth lambs yielding lean, tender meat..
