Harlequin sheep are a smaller size, the ewes weigh between 80-120 lbs. and the rams range from 90-150 lbs. As a result, they do not need as much as much land area as other breeds. They are easy to handle, our kids help in the care of our sheep. They would make a great 4H project.

They have highly prized wool. On our farm, we are currently saving our wool for a barn insulation project. Sheep wool is great for insulation! Their unique beauty and sweet nature makes them an excellent choice.

Our Lambs

Our lambs are born around April each year. We provide the paperwork to register them with HSSR. When they leave the farm, they will be up to date on their CD/T shots. We ensure our lambs are healthy and in good condition when they leave our farm. We can make no guarantees after they leave the farm, as we can not control the conditions of the environment that they will be in.

We ask that you research the breed and have adequate fencing. There are some great Facebook groups that you can join to get more familiar with the breed. Sheep are herd animals, they love the companionship of their herd. We ask that if you do not already have sheep, that you buy a pair so they will have a friend.

I am happy to answer any questions that you have and will help you as much as I am able!

Pre-Reservations & Waiting List

If you would like to be added to my reservation list for our upcoming spring lambs, there is a nonrefundable $100/reservation deposit. You will need to specify if you will want an ewe or ram.

First choice always goes to our reservation list. However, you can request to be added to our waiting list at any time and we will notify you if we have any available ewes or rams after we fill our waiting list. The waiting list is first come, first serve. To be added to my list, please call or text 304-989-0478 or you can email me at paintcreekfarms@yahoo.com.

Reservations & Pricing

Once you have picked out a lamb(s), there is a $300 nonrefundable deposit for each lamb. (If you were on my reservation list and have already paid $100, it will only be a $200 deposit.) Our sheep will be available in 8 weeks for pickup.

My pricing is based on size and what generation the lambs are. Pricing range between $800-$1,000 for ewes. Rams are $600-800.

Transportation

Traveling is stressful for animals, we recommend having your animal(s) checked by a licensed veterinarian within a week of travel. Some states require special certificates, health inspections, or paperwork completed. You will be required to pay those fees, if any, to meet your state requirements.

We hope that you will be able to visit us and pick up your lamb. West Virginia has beautiful scenery and there are many activities available in our area. We are within thirty minutes of the newest national park, New River Gorge National Park. You can go hiking, see a waterfall, or if you are the adventurous type, take a rafting trip! We can offer suggestions to visit the area while you pick up your lamb.

For those that can not make the trip, we offer deliveries to most of the east coast. We charge a delivery fee to cover our fuel to your location. We also offer other delivery options as well, so please contact us if you would like to have your lamb(s) delivered and I will give you a price quote to your location.
