Sheep Ridge Farm
A 150-ewe flock raised on rotational grazing in Sugar Grove, Pennsylvania. Freezer lambs, breeding stock and freezer pork.
Our story
It started with one pet sheep
In 1975, Dale McMillen's neighbor, Lonie Gebhart, gave him a pet sheep. More than fifty years later, that one sheep has grown into a working flock.
"Sheep Ridge Farm was established on July 22, 1975, with the gift of a pet sheep. From that humble beginning the farm has evolved into a 150 brood ewe flock with concentration on sustainability through rotational grazing, production-based genetics, and sound animal husbandry practices. Our emphasis centers on brood ewes and replacement ewe lambs that thrive under a rotational grazing system, and market lambs that achieve maximum weight gains putting them to market at a young desirable age to the consumer."

What we raise
Our sheep
We raise five breeds, chosen for strong mothering, good growth and how well they do on grass.
Polled Dorset
The same strong Dorset traits without the horns. Easy to handle, with good milk and meaty lambs.
Tunis
One of America's oldest sheep breeds, easy to spot by its red-tan face and legs. Hardy and calm, with mild-flavored meat.
Polypay
Developed in the U.S. for high lambing rates. Polypay ewes often raise twins and are a strong choice for building a flock.
Blackface cross
Crossbred for fast growth and a good carcass. These are the lambs that reach market weight young.
