Welcome to the Ranch! A little history ... We're located in Molalla, Oregon in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. Our farm is a century old now, being built in 1917 although the barn & outbuildings were built in the 1890's. It used to be a draft horse stud farm and a stage stop on an old wagon road from Oregon City to Silverton. Our family bought the homestead in 1937 and added on to the house, making it a 2 story, 4 bedroom home with an indoor bathroom !! Sheep, cattle & horses have always been raised here; as have chickens, hogs, and other animals from time to time. We still have horses and sheep, but we have gone into registered sheep now and replaced almost all our range flock with the hair breeds. We raise exotic hair and shedding sheep: the Dorper hair sheep which was developed in South Africa; the Katahdin hair sheep, an American breed developed in Maine; the St Croix hair sheep and St Thomas hair sheep (Virgin Island Hair Sheep). We also have geese and llamas which are good for letting us know if something is amiss. The majority of our herd finished lambing in March 2008. A few that didn't breed will go on the new schedule of breeding this year. The proposed schedule after this year will be: February - St Croix, St Thomas A and B, and Market ewes bred for July lambs. August - Katahdin, Recorded Katahdin, Market ewes bred for January lambs. We currently run approximately 40 head of ewes and about 10 rams of these various breeds listed to the left. Our herds of sheep are constantly changing as new bloodlines arrive. Please take a moment to browse each breed as animals for sale get updated often! PACIFIC NORTHWEST LIVESTOCK YAHOO GROUP ST.
