Little Creek Texel Sheep Texel Sheep are a unique breed. They are such good converters of grass to muscle cutting out the need for so much grain finishing. The ewes are easy to maintain and require much less feed then more traditional American breeds. They are medium to small framed sheep therefore they need less feed to maintain themselves.  One of our favorite characteristics of the breed is the wonderful mothering ability that they have. We don't have ewes that drop their lambs and walk away looking for the hay feeder. We demand that our ewes do their jobs, have lots of milk, and consistently twin year after year. Texel sheep are also docile and very gregarious when it comes to moving and handling. We occasionally have breeding stock available. Contact us early in the summer for availability.

Little Creek Commerical Crosses Hybrid vigor from crossing our Texels with Dorsets and Border Leicesters is trememdous. The market/feeder lambs that we produce year after year are growthy, and produce a meaty carcass. Ewes that we have held back and added to the flock produce superb lambs and continue with good mothering and milking. We occasionally will have ewes available. Contact us early in the summer if you are interested in adding some to your flock.

Little Creek Border Leicesters In the fall of 08 we added Border Leicesters from the Sudan Farm in Candy, Oregon to our flock. We are very impressed not only with their wool quality, but also their great mothering and milking ability. We look forward to adding more of these genetics to our flock.

Our Feeding and Health Philosophy:
Our sheep are raised on pasture/range conditions. We raise and believe in sheep that can gain and maintain on forage feeds rather then high concentrate expensive grain feeds. We do not believe in "show style" sheep that are raised artificially on "complete" feeds  in small confined pens and never taste green grass.The health of our flock is important and taking it one step further to insure a "clean " flock we enrolled into the Volunteer Scrapie Program in December of 2000 (OR59) and became
Certified Scrapie Free May 2008. 

A Bit of Our Sheep History
We started raising feeder lambs in 1996. With a Commercial flock of Columbia and Dorset ewes crossed on Hampshire bucks. At that time we were striving for a lamb that had more muscle definition and an over all medium sized carcass. We wanted to achieve faster gaining lambs that could produce on grass with little to no added concentrate feed. We also wanted sheep that where easy to handle and were easy to maintain on range conditions and gave us a good wool clip. Hearing about Texel Sheep and the tremendous carcass, as well as ease of handling, combined with high milk production we were sold on the breed.
In the fall of 2000 we purchased are first five Texel ewes. We have since added various bloodlines including some Dutch style Texels from Canada. In the fall of 2008 we added some unique Border Leicester genetics from Sudan Farms also Certified Scrapie free and located here in Oregon to improve our wool quality.
