About Our Soay Sheep
We purchased our first Soay sheep, a pair of wethers, from Santiam Valley Farm near Salem in June of 2006. We weren't sure how well these little creatures would work out, but we figured if we got tired of them, we would eat them. By the first week in July, we had purchased four more sheep, two ewes and two ram lambs from Wind River Farm up in Washington. Nobody had warned us that Soay sheep were so addictive!
We are members of MNSBAR, and many of our sheep are registered with them. Some of our sheep are also registered with Soays of America. All of our intact sheep are registered (or have registrations pending) in the Open Flockbook Project, which is an awesome resource for all Soay enthusiasts of either British or American Soay sheep. Registration with OFP is free, and I would encourage every Soay breeder to add their Soays to the registry and the OFP Gallery!
Welcome to Rainbow Apple Farm! We raise Soay sheep in a small home operation in Damascus, Oregon. We also have a few prolific fruit trees and try to have a garden most years. We are not a commercial operation, but we may occasionally have sheep available for sale or trade.
