About Boulder Ridge Farm                  

Our Finnsheep are bred to bring out their mothering ability, heath, prolificy, and wool quality.  Finnsheep are known for these qualities and make great additions to any flock to increase productivity.  Finnsheep's wool is desired from hand spinners for its luster and medium staple.  The Finnsheep colors vary from white, black, brown, gray, fawn and piebald.

We raise Great Pyrenees LGD's to protect our Finnsheep as well as our goats, chickens, cats and smaller dogs from the predators in our area.  Our predators consist mostly of coyotes, owls and other birds of prey as well as domestic dogs.  We have bobcats and a black panther in our area, but so far have not had problems with them coming near our property, as they stay closer to the cliffs and water.  Our Pyrenees do a great job protecting their small flock of sheep and other farm animals.  We chose the Great Pyrenees for various reasons including their gentle nature.  Great Pyrenees have a long history of protecting sheep flocks in France.  Please check with us to see if we have a Great Pyrenees available for purchase to protect your livestock.

New AKC Litter Born February 20, 2007

We are currently taking deposits for our 2007 lambs!  We have our new brown ram {Whiskey} and have bred him to quiet a few of our ewes that could carry the brown gene.  We will also have some black and white lambs available.  Occasionally we get a piebald.  We sell some of the Finnsheep for freezer lambs, pets or strictly for their wool as wethers.  A few pictures are on the FINNSHEEP LAMBS page.  We try to raise our lambs as all natural.  No antibiotics or other meds are given to any lamb, including their feed, unless there is an illness that requires it.  We also only worm on an individual basis as needed rather than the entire flock on scheduled times.  We feel this allows us to select sheep that are more resistant to worms as well as not giving unnecessary chemicals to sheep.  This also helps prevent a build up of resistance in the flock. 
 
We will have a few crosses available for your increased production.  We offer ewe lambs with 50-75% Finnsheep parentage (sire).  We also have a few ram lambs with 50-75% Finnsheep parentage.  Breeds used in cross production this year are Suffolk, Suffolk/Dorset, and Lincoln/Finn.

We have sold all our fleeces for 2006. If you would like to purchase a fleece please contact me.  We have black, white and black that fades to various colors.  We have Finnsheep, Finn/Lincoln, Suffolk/Finn, Suffolk/Dorset/Finn fleeces available as well as lamb fleeces in various colors.  Reserve your order early.
