Sheep Breeding Stock
Each
year we select only those lambs that meet the highest standards
for both fleece and soundness and offer them for breeding
stock. Our flock is in excellent health. All sheep are negative
for OPP and Johne's Disease and have never shown signs of
hoofrot or pinkeye. Our regular vaccinations include tetanus,
Clostridium perfringens types C and D and rabies.
All sheep are dewormed throughout the year as needed based
on FAMACHA eye score and fecal egg counts.. Our flock is
enrolled in the USDA
Voluntary Scrapie Flock Certification Program (Flock
NY49).
Our sheep are excellent, healthy producers of
exceptional fiber, and are available at reasonable prices.
Besides the sheep featured below, we often have others for
sale. Please inquire and tell us your needs. Let us help
you find just what you're looking for!
Contact us regarding details of animal transfer. You are
always welcome to pick up at the farm, or we can arrange
a rendezvous at a sheep and wool festival. We regularly
attend the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival in May, the
Finger Lakes Fiber Festival in September, and the Rhinebeck
Sheep and Wool Festival in October. We can also help arrange
shipping across country via other breeders travelling to
far-off shows, if given enough lead time.

Flash
is a quiet, easy-going ram who will probably mature around 250
lb. He is square and built solidly, with good feet and legs.
His fleece is tightly curled, but soft and silky and maintains
good curl consistency down through the lower leg. He is predominantly
pewter color with high luster, and shades to black on neck and
lower legs. A beautiful fleece!

Cotswold Ewe

63 - "Hannah"
|
|
| DOB 3/9/07. Twin. Sire is Nistock Farms
"Flash" (above) and dam is Nistock Farms "Fancy".
Hannah is CBA registered. She will be a medium sized Cotswold
with big curls, good staple length and a predominantly llight
silver fleece which will be lovely on its own, or would dye beautifully.
Her mom and older half sisters have great mothering instincts.
She resisted being held and is pulling back, making her head set
and body shape somewhat distorted. A photographer I am not. I
do have her spring shearing here and can send fleece samples if
desired. $325. |
