| Yearling ewes with great style and capacity. We want our sheep to look great in the pasture as well as on the dinner table! |
Lincolns are dual purpose sheep, used for both their meat as
well as their fleece. We actively select for animals that can be
productive on a diet of grass, hay and alfalfa. We grow our
own grass hay and purchase alfalfa from a local farmer.
Based on almost a decade of experience, I would have to say
that Lincolns are among the toughest and smartest sheep I
have ever met. These guys are thrifty and rugged and I love
them.

| Classic Lincoln yearling rams growing out on grass. The natural colored ram on the right is a triplet and the white ram is a twin. We select for prolificacy as well as growth rates that get us lambs weighing 120 lbs. in 6 to 8 months on a pasture based diet. 80% of the farm's revenues come from direct meat sales. |
