Field of Sheep

 

Welcome to Auville Suffolks and Club Lambs. Our program was started in 1992 with the purchase of a Suffolk ewe lamb for our youngest daughter, Stephanie, who was not old enough to show 4-H market lambs. In 1995 we added the Hampshires as Jessica wanted a "breed of her own". As our flock grew, so did the need for a new facility. In 1999, we moved our operation from Dayton, Virginia, to Mt. Sidney, Virginia. In 2001 when Jessica was in college, we made the decision to focus on one breed and dispersed the Hampshire flock.
 
Our flock consists of 85 mature Suffolks and Suffolk cross ewes. We have retained about 15 "frame suffolks" and 60 registered Suffolk and Suffolk cross wether dams. Our goal is to produce quality breeding Suffolks with size and thickness and "livability". Our program is committed to good, quality animals with integrity breeding. We strive to produce sheep that perform well in the show ring, but most importantly in lambing barn. All sheep sold are guaranteed to be breeders. Sheep are tested at Codon 171 and guaranteed to have "the R factor" and spider free. We have used RR rams now for several years; therefore, most of our sheep are mostly RR.
 
Our club lamb program is one that we are extremely proud of. Each year we produce lambs for 4-H & FFA kids to show at county and state fairs. We really enjoy helping the youth. In the summer we host a workshop for our buyers of club lambs and enjoy helping with these projects. Your success is our success!
 
Visitors are always welcome. Just call us, we would love to show you around the barn and talk sheep!
 
Our farm is located just 4 miles off interstate 81 at the Weyers Cave exit (#235) and just 15 minutes from the Eastern Stud Ram Sale.
