The Shepherds Lane Sheep!
Wee have focused our years of experience into perfecting these three longwool breeds thru upgrading programs using imported purebred semen. We have now reached American Purebred status within our Teeswater and Gotland programs. Both the Teeswater and the Gotland ewes have proved to be pivotal in the success of our newest adventure, the Valais Blacknose upgrading program!

Valais Blacknose
This breed is making quite a fluff on social media and we too have been captivated by their unique look and gentle nature. We are proud to be the first to import genetics and have the first lambs born in the USA! At ground zero of the “worlds cutest sheep” invasion of the USA, we are working to promote and encourage the establishment of a sound breeding program not only within our growing flock here in Oregon but also as a proud Charter Member of the Valais Blacknose Sheep Society.
Teeswater
Our lovely Teeswater flock is the prestigious source of those mouth watering locks! As importer of the genetics that founded and built this breed in the USA, over the past decade we have worked to create one of the top flocks to be found on this continent. Having served as a past President of the ATSA and currently an active member, all our best stock is registered with the American Teeswater Sheep Association.
Gotland
As the original importer of Gotland genetics into North America, and one of the oldest and largest flocks in the United States, we have stayed true to the breed standards established by its founders. Our Gotlands are known for their diverse genetic lines, stunning high luster silky wool, and sound conformation. Expect the very best examples of the breed when purchasing breeding stock from us. A proud charter member of the American Gotland Sheep Society.
