WHY CASCADE FARMSTEAD SHEEP?
Cascade Farmstead sheep are an easy care, productive breed produced by small farmers to meet specific needs of small size with a meaty carcass and no shearing.
NATURAL TRAITS MAKE RAISING SHEEP EASY ON THE FARMER!
These beautiful sheep naturally shed their wool; they do not require shearing. They produce spinning quality fleeces in a variety of colors and patterns.
They are born with short tails, and do not require tail docking (cutting off the tail).
They are fully capable of giving birth without assistance, and do not require extra attention from you during lambing season.
They are resistant to foot rot and do well in wet areas such as the Pacific Northwest.
They are small enough to be easy to handle, yet large enough to provide an excellent meat carcass.
Lambs slated to become food for your table are large enough to be butchered in the autumn, without the effort and expense of overwintering culls.
This breed is highly productive on pasture and hay alone; all the sheep you see here have never received grain.
We have been selecting for overall good health, good shedding ability, reliable twinning ability, good lamb growth for early butchering, and good horn width that will not endanger the animal.
If you are looking for low maintenance livestock with beauty and character, these sheep may be for you!
