Our Sheep

The Border Cheviot is an English breed of sheep originating on the border of England and Scotland. They are known for easy lambing, fast maturity and strong mothering ability. Cheviots are clean (wool-free) white face sheep with pricked ears, black muzzle and black feet. They were imported from Scotland to the USA in 1838. Cheviots need very little care from the owner and take care of themselves pretty well.

Ease of lambing and the excellent mothering ability means fewer lambing problems. Also, with good resistance from internal parasites, very little deworming or drenching is required. When mature, Cheviot rams will weight from 160 to 200 pounds and ewes will weigh from 120 to 160 pounds
