Wild 'n' Woolly Farm

Our little farm is nestled in eastern West Virginia. We raise Coopworth Sheep, Scottish Highland Cattle, chickens and turkeys. Our animals are almost wholly pasture-fed, and we use no antibiotics and no unnecessary vaccines. We also treat our animals with Essential Oil Therapies. 

Our Performance Recorded Coopworths are descended from registered Pine Park and Alford Park New Zealand Coopworth Sheep and subsequent NZ AI Sires (imported semen).

Coopworths are narrow polled, narrow & deep chested, and long-bodied. They are heavy muscled and stout with black noses, hooves, and "eye liner." Their hooves are also more resistant to problems. Their faces and legs are clean with little or no wool. The Ewes typically weigh in around 140-180 lbs, and the Rams around 200-275 lbs.

There are many reasons for raising the Coopworth breed. Here are just a few:

• Higher Lambing Percentage
• Easy Lambing
  
• Excellent Mothering
• Strong, Get-Up'n'Go Lambs
• Easily Mustered and Worked
• Exceptional Wool
