Country Haven Farm, located on the banks of the Maunesha River, is the perfect place to raise Highland sheep otherwise known as Scottish Blackface.

This hardy hill breed flourishes on the natural vegetation and rolling hills of the Wisconsin countryside.  Excellent mothers, our Scotties give birth in March and April and raise their lambs on the fresh, spring grasses native to our farm.

Our purebred flock exhibits the distinct characteristics of the Scottish Blackface breed with rams and ewes both having horns and black markings on face and legs. 

Meat from this breed is known for its mild flavor and is naturally lean.  Their wool is in a class by itself. Strong, long staples are great for felting, rugs, and outer wear. 

How are our animals raised?  Visitors comment on our animals' friendliness.  They're naturally inquisitive and since they've been treated with respect don't fear people.  At Country Haven Farm, we follow organic methods but are not certified. 

Our sheep are on pasture in the spring, summer and fall and are fed hay from neighboring farms in the winter.  Our entire farm is in pasture which we frost seed to continually replenish and improve.  Our sheep receive no hormones or artificial supplements. 

The sheep receive regular health screenings and vaccinations.  If an animal needs antibiotics, we administer them, but then that animal does not go into our meat sales.

Our chicks start out under heat lamps and are fed a chick ration that contains no antibiotics.  At three weeks, they move to the barn where they have sunshine, fresh air and an outdoor yard in season.  In addition to their feed ration, they eat bugs, grass and garden leftovers.
