ANNOUNCING THE ADDITION OF SCOTTISH BLACKFACE SHEEP
TO McDERMIT RANCH!

We recently purchased a flock of Scottish Blackface sheep – 94 ewes and 4 rams.  This beautiful breed originates in the hill country of Scotland.  They are extremely hardy, fantastic mothers, and thrive in tough conditions.  Here is a link to the  Blackface Sheep Breeders’ Association:

This year, we will breed most of the ewes to the Scottie ram and some to a Bluefaced Leicester ram to create the
“Scotch Mule”.
Scotch Mule ewes are by far the most popular ewe in the UK.  Here is a link to the Scotch Mule Association in the UK:   http://www.scotchmule.co.uk/
