Pitchfork Romney flock dispersed

by Margaret on September 5, 2024

in News, Sheep, Uncategorized

In May, 2024, we came to the very difficult decision to disperse our Romney flock that we had started in late 1986. We have greatly enjoyed the Romney sheep and the Romney people. We are fortunate to have been able work with this breed and share their genetics throughout the US. We have retained all of our notes and lambing records from the beginning so if anyone has any questions, I hope we’ll still have the answer. Again, we are very fortunate that 3 excellent breeders purchased all of our ewes, rams and lambs. Purchasers are Cheryl Dunlap of Ohio, Phyllis Looker of Ohio and Lorre Garland of Virginia.

Click here to see three of the ram lambs that are big enough to bring with us to Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival this year, where all will be for sale (unless they are sold beforehand).
