Stud
maintains
one of the largest registered Hampshire sheep flocks in
the Northeast. The primary reason is to utilize the sheep
in a rotational grazing program in the pastures being
rested from horse use. Sheep break up the equine parasite
cycle, produce high nitrogen manure, eat almost every
weed, reduce the need for herbicides, and their cloven
hooves help aerate compacted soil. Our flock has become
a premier source of quality Hampshire breeding stock and
has produced numerous New York State Fair and Regional
Hampshire Show champions. Berkshire Stud rams are in use
in both purebred and commercial sheep flocks across the
United States. Breeding stock is available at all times. |
