We maintain a flock of 65 Registered Cheviot brood ewes. A small base lambs in the fall with the majority lambing in the spring. Our emphasis is placed on raising large framed, three dimensional Cheviots that are stylish, structurally sound with adequate breed character. Our brood ewes graze from late May through early November. We don't tolerate the tall, one gutted, hard doing sheep as they do not thrive in our operation...
We set high standards for our breeding stock we retain, as well as those we sell. We strive to keep the influence of other breeds out of our program, as well as adhering to integrity with birth dates. Our lambs are typically later maturing and have a long growth curve which enables them to reach a larger heavier frame as yearlings. We joke about the saying "out of little acorns big trees grow". This philosophy seems to hold true with our lambs.
