Our flock is closed except for a new ram every few years We do not show our sheep
Fully Certified USDA Voluntary Scrapie Program Flock #7 Member OPP Concerned
Sheep Breeders Society - our entire flock has had two AGID tests and all were
negative. 2) Temperament Our ewes are all
very calm. We have culled for temperament. 3) Conformation

spectacular rams by outright purchase and laparoscopic insemination.
