Dorper
A south African breed, Dorpers offer thick, stocky bloodlines that we use to obtain a more husky lamb product. We breed our own rams in from the fullblood ewes on the property. These are the pricey addition to our custom lamb offspring for production.
Katadhin
Katadhin sheep are an american breed from Veront. Naed after Mount Katahdin, this breed offers exceptional flavor along with harty genetics and maternal instincts. Most of our mommas on the farm are this breed and can be crossed with our Dorper Rams.
Cross Breeds
By mingeling our herd with the above breeds we can offer a truely unique flavor lamb with portions that don't dissapoint! Our crossbred lambs are what make Cress Creeks Farm products stand out from common Australian and New Zeland choices.
St. Croix / Icelandic
Saint Croix sheep have been introduced on our farm for genetic variety. We keep a portion of our flock from this line to ensure healthy development.
sheep are a big deal!
Making money with sheep
As with other agricultural enterprises, sheep farming is not a "get-rich-quick" scheme. The profit margins are narrow. To make money raising sheep, you would need at least several hundred ewes, probably more than 500. While there are some farmers who make a majority of their income from sheep farming.
World sheep numbers
According to the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, there are more than one billion sheep world wide. Sheep production is increasing in some countries; declining in others. While China has the most sheep, Australia and New Zealand the dominate world markets for lamb and wool.
