Why We Raise Pure Natural Parasite Free St. Croix Sheep

• Tennessee is hot, humid and produces a heavy parasitic worm load.

  St. Croix Sheep have the highest parasite resistance, and is the only sheep breed that can consistently defeat the Barber Pole worm in Tennessee without using dewormers.

  We have never used dewormers or vaccinations on our Pure and Natural St. Croix sheep, and we cull any animals that need chemical dewormers to survive.

• St. Croix sheep are resistant to hoof rot, which can result from the humid conditions in Tennessee. We have never had a problem with hoof rot, and we have never trimmed the hoofs of our our St. Croix Sheep.

• All of our sheep are grass fed and drink only pure rainwater or springwater. Absolutely no chemicals have been given to our sheep.

• We practice bio-security to keep our sheep disease free.
