Our rams...
Genetic diversity is one of our foundation farm goals and we typically utilize 3-5 breeding rams each season. This allows us to offer unrelated starter flocks to our customers and maintain a low inbreeding co-efficient within our own flock.
Painted Rock does not participate in improvement breeding practices, which generally select for 1-2 specific traits. Instead, we celebrate the uniqueness of the Jacob sheep in all of its splendor! You will find both two & four horned animals here, a variety of markings and spotting patterns on amazing wool. Temperament is vital and we feel this is a heritable trait. So, we expect good manners from our flock sires both with us and with the ewes. When adding a ram to your flock, purchase a QUALITY animal from a well known breeder (like us!). Avoid auctions and markets as you are likely to end up with someone's culls. Your ram can greatly improve the quality of your flock so choose wisely! |
Current rams at the farm...
This page gives honor to our proven flock sires here at Painted Rock Farm. We utilize many bloodlines here to give our offerings as much genetic diversity as possible. We are proud to have these guys grace our farm!

Neil is a lifer here at the farm and is not for sale. His gentle personality remain evident in his lambs, along with that dark color retention. Finer fleece type with nice lustre adds to the traits we love about this guy. Nice pedigree that brings in Puddleduck, Brindle Hill and Sweetgrass lines. JSBA registered.

Windsor was a smaller ram lamb we opted to keep on the farm to watch him develop. He has proven to be a real stunner in every way! His quirky personality, lovely wool and easy going personality are showing us we made the right decision to keep him around.
