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 rams for our
foundation stock whom we believe embodied these characteristics.  Both our
foundation rams trace directly back to top UK rams
(Saltersford's Derek and  
Guifron's 4150).

Our rams, like 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.
