Farm Practices
At Common Threads Farm we endeavour to raise our sheep in a comfortable atmosphere using as natural methods as possible. We use electronets for rotational grazing throughout the farm. Fencing in the fields farthest from the main farm are woven with smooth electric around the top and barbed wire around the bottom.

Our Breeding
Our breeding program allows for the best fleeces, conformation, and temperment within our flock. Our lambs are raised on ewe's milk and when able, natural pasture. We do not use creep feed, and our lambs grow strong and fast.
