Soay sheep are a miniature primitive breed originally from St. Kilda, a group of islands off the coast of
Scotland. Although they are rare, Soay are very hardy and easy keepers.
This article from Hobby Farms magazine is a good place to start for basic information about Soay. Please note that our use of the terms "British" and "American" when describing our Soay follows the conventions established in the Open Flockbook Project (OFP), since that is currently the major repository of genetic information on Soay in North America.
The pedigrees of all our Soay can be researched through the OFP, and our British Soay are also registered through the Rare Breeds Survival Trust (RBST).

Here are the breeding groups that we put together for this season (alphabetically by ram).
Starting this year we will only be listing the animals (no more photos for every sheep) since there are just too many to make posting photos and descriptions feasible.
