Our sheep are at the heart of our fiber work and land stewardship practice. Meet the flock, learn why we raise them, and see how their wool moves from pasture to beautiful, sustainable products.

Why Our Sheep Matter

We raise these sheep with care and deep respect as part of our young silvopasture system, grounded in good animal husbandry, appreciation for heritage breeds, and ethical fiber production. These members of our farm family support soil health, provide distinctive, high-quality wool, and shape how we experience both the joys and challenges of shepherding in the Southeast, even at a small scale.

Gulf Coast Native Sheep

GCNs are a versatile, dual-purpose heritage breed native to the southeastern United States. Our sheep produce beautiful wool and flavorful, lean meat. Once a popular landrace breed that developed through natural selection, they are now currently endangered. These amazingly resilient sheep are especially well-suited to hot, humid climates and are known for their hardiness and adaptability.

History & Characteristics
Gulf Coast Natives have a long history dating back to the 16th century, when Spanish colonizers introduced them to the Gulf Coast region. These small to medium-sized sheep typically weigh 80–120 pounds for ewes and 150–220 pounds for rams and wethers, producing fleeces in a wide range of patterns and colors, including creamy whites, tans, and gray browns. Their adaptability and natural parasite resistance make them ideal for extensive grazing systems.

Breeding & Production
These hardy sheep are known for excellent mothering ability and strong resistance to parasites and hoof rot. In addition to producing useful wool, Gulf Coast sheep yield a lean, deliciously mild-flavored carcass with little waste. Ongoing conservation efforts focus on preserving the breed’s genetic diversity and historical significance. They are one of the few American heritage breeds recognized by Slow Food USA’s ‘Ark of Taste’, an international catalog highlighting culturally and ecologically significant foods worth preserving. Their lean, mild-flavored meat reflects centuries of adaptation to the Southeast’s climate and forage conditions.

Wool Quality
Gulf Coasts produce a medium-grade wool with a wide range of uses. Due to their diversity, and their inherent variations, our flock has several with fleeces that are on the finer side, closer to 23 – 24µ. Fleeces are typically open, low in grease, and wavy to crimpy, with an average staple length of 4–6 inches yield between 4–7 pounds. The wool felts well, blends easily, and takes dye readily. Handspun yarn is suitable for blankets, outerwear, and knitted projects, and is often soft enough to wear next to the skin. Our flock tends toward the finer end of the spectrum, producing wool well suited for durable blankets and outerwear as well as garments like sweaters and socks.
