Sheep and Lambs

Stonefield Sheep sells breeding stock, club lambs and locker lambs.

Our base flock is Navajo-Churro: a hardy breed developed by the Navajo from the Spanish Churra imported into New Mexico as early as the 16th century. Churros come in a wide variety of colors and markings; they are small to medium-sized and relatively easy to handle. Some rams have two or four horns and some ewes have two horns.

We are crossing the Churros with hair sheep to eliminate shearing in part of the flock. The hair sheep we use are a Katahdin/Barbados Blackbelly cross. The Churro/hair sheep lambs are still somewhat woolly so a second cross will be needed to fully eliminate the shearing requirement.

Ethyl and her lamb (above) illustrate some of the range of choices we have. Ethyl is a red Churro ewe who was bred to a Barbados Blackbelly/Katahdin cross. The lamb is a blackbelly phenotype.

Our second ram line is a Dorset by Navajo-Churro cross. These lambs are larger-boned, more muscular and more challenging to handle.

We now have a line of Churro and Cotswold sheep for specialized long wool and locker lambs.

We have white, black, brown, and spotted sheep some of whom shed completely or partially. Take a look at our offerings on the locker lambs and breeding stock pages and contact inquiry@stonefieldsheep.com for further information or to purchase product.
