Thank you for your interest! I replied to you by email. Lynn.
Hi Patricia! I’m checking in with you again to see if you want me to start identifying some sheep that would work for you. Let me know.
Do you know anyone selling breeding stock closer to where we are (Northern NY State)?
Hi Dani! I do not, but if you vist the American Black Welsh Mountain Sheep Association web site, there will be a list of breeders. Thank you for visiting Chengwatana Farm!

Thanks, Robin. Where are you located?
Hi Robin. Is your ram sired by Desert Weyr Mynock or his offspring?
looking for a ram for next fall. I need one that will not go gray in a year or two. my ewes stay black. My one ewe is 8 and is now going gray on here flank only. I am looking for a ram with a good disposition. We are in with the rams to much to have mean rams. I normally buy show rams just so I don’t have issues with them being mean.
We cull rams for bad behavior, so our rams are easy to handle. Contact me if you want to look at some.
Do you have reg. lambs for sale. Looking for 1 ram and 2 ewes.
Hi Randy. I do have two ewes and a ram. Let me know when you would like to see them.
Curious…..Can you please supply me with pricing for 2015 black welsh ewes?
Thank you-
Colin Brotherton
Hi Colin. The prices under the sheep for sale are still good for 2015. Thanks for your interest!

Hi John. My prices are on the Sheep for Sale tab; let me know if you would like to come look at some sheep.
I’m looking for registered ram lamb and a registered ewe lamb that I can use for breeding.
Hi John. I have some nice ram lambs from this year.
When is your next lambs due?
I will start expecting lambs the third week in March, 2016.
Looking for a ram lamb and 2 lamb ewes for 4 h
Just wondering if you have anything for sale now
Hi Jason. I will have lambs in March and April but they will not be ready to go to new homes until around June or July. Right now I have some nice ram lambs if you wanted to start with a ram. I also sent you an email message.
Hi Jason. About 90% of my lambs were rams this year. Plus I lost a few older ewes this winter, so I don’t think I can part with any ewes right now.
I’m looking for a registered 1 to 2 year old ewe that doesn’t have the desert way( spelling not correct) blood line. Email me back with your blood lines you have.
Hi John. I lost several older ewes this winter from old age. I don’t think I can let any of my younger ewes go right now. Also, all my younger ewes are sired by Desert Weyr Mynock or one of his sons. I will be getting a new ram this fall. Thank you for checking, though. Lynn.
I would like to purchase several ewes next spring. I want to start a small flock of breeding sheep.
Hi Stephani. Can you tell me if you need registered ewes?
Hi, I just found your site and enjoyed reading about your farm. We have black welsh sheep, here in the Pacific Northwest – it’s our first year raising them. I see that you said your rams are easy to handle. We were told not to “handle” the ram, that makes them mean. Any comments on this ? Our ram is not mean, just very piggy when it comes to food, and he will push all the ewes and lambs out of the way to get what he wants. He is afraid of us, and mostly keeps his distance unless I have food. He only pushed me once when he thought I was not giving out food quickly enough. Now I’m very careful to keep an eye on where he is, and I don’t let him get too close to me. Would be interested in your thoughts and experience on handling rams. Thanks, Nancy in the North West
Hi Nancy. Thank you for your comment, and for looking at my page. Except for summer, when they are on pasture, I separate the rams from the rest of the flock. I think it depends on how you handle the rams and what time of year it is. During the rut, or when the ewes are in heat, I would not turn my back on a ram. The rest of the year they are very mellow. I only scratch them UNDER the chin, not on the top of their heads or on their faces. I don’t know for sure if that makes a difference. Also, for the long term improvement of he breed, I cull any rams that are aggressive.
Hello!
Do you still have sheep available for this fall? What do you recommend for a starter flock for a first time shepherd? I have a farm in Ashland, WI with a barn and fenced in pasture.
Thank you!
Ewes will be exposed to rams by December; that would be a good time to buy.
Looking for some ewes. I have a great ram. Just need some black welsh mountain ewes for him. He’s registered so I probably want ewes to be also.
Hi Nicholas. All of my registered ewes are bred right now. Mid summer we could chat about a couple of open registered ewes. Have a good winter, and congratulations on your ram. You will love the BWM sheep I’m sure!
Lynn, are the bred ewes for sale? Looks like it on the price list above. So I guess I’m just checking to make sure. I would be interested in any amount and any age.
Hi Nicholas! Let me give this one thought. I’m expecting my first lambs any day, but I will keep you in mind.
Hello. I’m looking to start a small pure bred registered flocked that i can sell as breeding stock and into the meat market, would you be able to let me know what you have available would be looking to pick them up mid summer. prefer lambs that i can raise up.
thank you

Hi Dillon. I will have a few ewe lambs available in July. I’m almost done lambing, so will have a better idea and can send some photos later in March.
Are your ewes used to being handled? Are they used to being around dogs? Thanks!
