Our Dairy Sheep Flock

We were drawn to dairy sheep due to their sweet nature and multi-purpose use of their milk, wool, and even manure. Little did we know how much we would enjoy being shepherds!

I also recently came across the article "Importance of Bioactive Substances in Sheep’s Milk in Human Health" by Zuzanna Flis and Edyta Molik , in which they write this about their findings:

"Sheep’s milk is an important source of bioactive substances that have health-promoting functions for the body. The valuable composition of sheep’s milk is due to the high content of fatty acids, immunoglobulins, proteins, hormones, vitamins and minerals. Many biopeptides found in milk have antibacterial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. The bioactive substances of sheep’s milk also show anticancer properties. Sheep’s milk, thanks to its content of CLA and orotic acid, prevents the occurrence of type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and cancer. Sheep’s milk, as a product rich in bioactive substances, can be used as a medical aid to support the body in the fight against neurological and cancer diseases."

Impressive, isn't it?!

We intentionally decided to focus on mixed dairy breeds for our sheep flock to optimize their hardiness and milk production.

Blossom was born in Texas in December of 2022. She is a 75% Awassi, 25% East Friesian dairy ewe who has had twin lambs during each of her lambings. Blossom has a sweet personality and is a fantastic mother. She is trained to the milking stanchion and is easy to hand- and machine milk. Blossom was bred to Thomas and gave birth to two healthy ram lambs, "M6" and "M7", who are available for $500 each.

Poppy is one of Blossom's twins and was born in April 2024 in Colorado. She is a 49% East Friesian, 37.5% Awassi, 7% Lacaune, 6.5% Polypay dairy ewe.

Rosie was born in April 2024 in Colorado. She is a 66% East Friesian, 20% Lacaune, 14% Polypay dairy ewe who is very personable, curious and sweet.

Hops is one of Blossom's ram lambs born on our farm in May 2025. He is 45.5% East Friesian, 37.5% Awassi, 8.5% Lacaune, 8.5% Polypay and is growing up beautifully. We love Hops’s sweet and goofy personality (and handsome looks). He bred Carnation and Daisy for 2026 spring lambs and they had 1 ewe lamb and 1 ram lamb.

Our Rams

Our Ewes and 2026 lambs

Thomas is a proven 85% East Friesian/ 15% Lacaune ram who comes from high producing dairy lines in Montana.

He has a reserved but friendly demeanor and the 3 ewes he bred for 2026 lambs gave us 2 sets of ewe lamb twins and 1 set of ram lamb twins. Thomas enjoys getting his cheeks scratched and is a gentleman with the ladies.

Timmy is an 50% East Friesian/ 50% Lacaune ram who came to us from Montana but is unrelated to Thomas and all of our ewes.

He has a sweet disposition and we can't wait to get some more black lambs from him.

Carnation was born in March 2025 in Montana. She is a 80% East Friesian, 20% Lacaune dairy ewe, who is curious and outgoing, and a dream to milk with the milking machine. Carnation was bred to Hops and gave birth to one healthy ram lamb on 4/11/26. Her ram lamb, "M5" is available for $500.

Daisy was born in April 2025 in Montana. She is a 80% East Friesian, 20% Lacaune dairy ewe, who is sweet and curious. Daisy was bred to Hops and gave birth to a healthy ewe lamb on 4/16/26. Daisy is an excellent mother and quickly learned to be milked with the machine. Her ewe lamb, "F8", is available for $500.

We’ve had an exceptionally successful lambing season in 2026. Some of our 2026 lambs are still available for purchase. Additionally, we have purebred Great Pyrenees (Livestock Guardian Dogs) puppies who will be seeking their own flocks to guard by mid to end July 2026.

Below is a preview of our dairy ewe flock, our rams, and the lambs that are currently for sale.
