Here at Clover Country Farm our Hampshire sheep have been
specifically chosen for their traditional, commercial qualities and traits as
apposed to the newer, less productive show-type qualities that have become
popular more recently. This is an important distinction in choice and we
are proud to say that we have been successful in this pursuit.
Our Hampshire ram ,
Hubbard 846-"Thumper", has been a very worthwhile investment in the
quality of our flock. We obtained them from Chauncey Hubbard of Oregon who
has a long standing history of producing stock with the very same traditional
qualities and traits that we are intentionally breeding for. The qualities
that we emphasize the most are fast growth on grass pasture, disease resistance,
heartiness and a nicely finished hanging weight for market.
The wool from our Hampshire sheep is mostly used for
felting, but we do process it as roving as well for hand spinning.
