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.
Our sheep graze during the months pastures are available and are fed forage
harvested from neighboring farms in the winter. Our sheep do not
require grain, are not fed any hormones and if for their health
they need antibiotics, they do not go into our meat sales.
Their wool is in a class by itself.
Strong, long staples are great for felting, rugs, and outer wear. |
