Our Farm History

        We have lived with animals all our lives. We bought the farm in 2001 and our first sheep arrived in 2005. We now have sheep from five different states and our 2007 lambs are sired from five different rams.
        We have state of the art equipment with a large working barn and paddock system. We use Kencove and Premier electric fencing materials.  Our local support system is excellent with Dr. Tim Thornhill, an experienced sheep owner as well. We have a regional agricultural college and are close to Fort Valley State University - a leader in parasite issues in small ruminants.
        We are members of KHSI, SCKA, GKA, Florida Meat Sheep Alliance, NSIP and are a certified scrapie free flock.
        Hound River Farm was created by Roxanne and Milledge Newton and our sixteen  hounds.

Our Business Philosophy

        We have a beautiful and clean farm and  raise a certified scrapie free flock - GA 412.  We have plenty of hay and forage availability for pasture raised sheep, but supplement during flushing, breeding, nursing and drought condtions.
        Our selection goals are based on certain NSIP EPD's. We want heat tolerant, slick coated, parasite resistant sheep with great mothering ability that have excellent conformation and provide superior pounds of lamb weaned.
        We enjoy all coat colors and have stock that varies from pure white to dark brown. We use Famacha and only worm when scores are abnormal. We treat our animals with antibiotics as indicated and use a standard CD/T vaccine.
        Our animals are clean, healthy and happy.
