Our goal at Timberwood Farms is to breed self-sufficient sheep with an emphasis
on a lean meat carcass and fine wool. Toward this end, we selected ewes for our
foundation stock whom we believe embodied these characteristics. All our
foundation ewes trace directly back to five top UK rams (Saltersford's Derek,
Pen-Y-Wern's Beater, Court Llaca's 3815, Guifron's 4150, and Easter
Beltie).
Our ewes are pasture raised and only occasionally receive grain as a treat. We
participate in the Clun Forest Lambplan. In addition, our stock is OPP, Scrapie,
and foot rot free.
