Welcome and I hope you enjoy our website. Our farm is located in South Central Pennsylvania - York, PA. We are members of the International Finnsheep Registry (IFR).

Finnish Landrace "Finnsheep" are a multi-purpose breed. They were imported to the United States from Canada in the 1960's. Their medium-fine fleece is low in lanoline, soft to the touch, lustrous and sought after by hand-spinners. Finnsheep are also known for exhibiting outstanding maternal traits, and having litters (up to seven lambs at a time). Their meat is naturally lean & tender and they possess a docile and friendly temperment.

Our flock has excellent health and is enrolled in the USDA Scrapie Flock Certification Program. Our entire flock tested negative for OPP in January, 2011. Our farm's business plan includes the introduction of the R gene at Codon 171 into our flock. This year we are introducing several new ewes and a ram from different bloodlines to improve the overall health and production of our sheep as well as to breed in the R gene at Codon 171 for Scrapie resistance. I hope to have several QR sheep available for sale this spring.

Our sheep are fed a special blend of grains and second cut hay when pasture grass is not available. However, when they are on pasture they are rotated to a different pasture every three to four weeks. The health of our sheep is of the utmost importance to us.

Please check out our site for more information about our Finnsheep, and the fleece and fiber available for sale.

Thank you for visiting our site and contact us with any questions.
