We raise Targhee sheep – an entirely American breed. Targhees were developed at the U.S.  Sheep Experiment Station in Dubois, Idaho, in the early 20th century by the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service. They are a dual-purpose breed producing fine, soft wool and good lamb.  Targhees are known for their maternal characteristics, hardiness, and are especially suited to the Western range environment. They are popular in Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota. The breed was  named after the Targhee National Forest where they initially grazed in the summer. The word Targhee  is the name of a Bannock Chief known for his pacifism, strong character, and integrity.

​

We live by the maxim that our livestock come first. We believe our sheep deserve the best care and nutrition we can possibly give them. They are handled gently and with respect. Every ewe lambing and every lamb born is cherished. The sacredness of life is important to us. The title shepherd is earned.
