What people say?

We bought our first Cheviot ram from Susan 3 years ago. We have never been happier with our lamb crop. Susan's breeding has brought thickness, body depth, muscle and style to our lambs. Our ram has a very good disposition. The lambs are very hardy and get up and going in no time. The ewes that we have kept have good capacity and are feminine. These F1 ewes have had no problems lambing. Susan has been great to deal with and we will be getting more rams from her in the future. We highly recommend her flock.

We have purchased both Rams and Ewes from Susan at Isle of Skye Cheviots. The quality of these Cheviots are the best we have seen. and her knowledge of all her animals lineage is remarkable. We have been nothing but happy with our Rams and the Lambs that they continue to produce. The lambs are very thick and grow very fast. To anyone looking to raise top quality Cheviots I would highly recommend purchasing your stock from Susan. We will be purchasing more Cheviot Ewes and Rams from Susan in the future.

We purchased our first North Country Cheviot Ram from Susan a few years ago. We have been really happy with him! Not only does he have a nice disposition, but he produces really nice lambs. As a Ram Lamb we put him with 13 ewes the first year we got him and they all lambed on the first cycle. This year we have decided to keep some replacements and we are so excited to see how these ewe lambs produce. Susan has also been great help with advice on lambing issues, vaccination and deworming procedures and any other questions we might have!!

Ranch manager, small commercial flock

We have a flock of commercial North Country Cheviot/ Suffolk sheep and our farm is on very marginal land. We like Isle of Skye Cheviot rams because they are very hardy and they are not picky eaters. They do very well on the marginal feed we offer them. We have found that the Cheviot Rams we purchase from Susan have brought lots of length and thickness to our F1 females that we keep. We have also found that the weights of our lambs are excellent when we sell them in the fall. We highly recommend her North Country Cheviots.
