We specialize in hardy, easy-care sheep with beautiful, prizewinning handspinning fleeces. We have utilized New Zealand AI genetics in our flock, along with the best domestic Coops available.
Because we are serious about the Coopworth emphasis on production we use production records to help discern the sheep with the traits that we feel are important in our flock; fleece weight and quality, easy care ewes with strong maternal instincts, structural soundness, and lamb weight gains
on pasture. We strive to make each generation of Deer Run Coopworths better than the last. We have the records, and will gladly show them to you, and assist you in recording the profitable traits in your flock!
We guarantee the health and fertility of our sheep. We are enrolled in the Voluntary Scrapie Free Flock Certification Program and our flock has tested negative for OPP.
Now taking reservations for 2013 lambs.
Price for registered Coopworth lambs; $250-$300 each, Adults; $300-$400.
"Pedigree indicates what the animal should be. Conformation indicates what the animal appears to be. But, Performance indicates
what the animal actually is."

Hatchtown 0029-02 "Hatch" from Maine, Hatch sheared 13.5 lbs. of wool as a 3 year old. Hatch has Woodsedge, Hidden Valley and Cobun Creek bloodlines. We liked the lambs that we got from this silver/blue ram so much that along with French Hill Baritone, he formed the foundation of our natural colored flock! 
French Hill Baritone
In the past we have shipped sheep to New York, Vermont, Iowa, Michigan and Texas. If you are interested in our sheep, but are too far away to visit, we may be able to arrange transport at reasonable prices.

Bluefaced Leicester X Coopworth lambs We tried some purebred BFL sheep about 12 years ago, but sold the breed a few years later because they just couldn't compete with the Coopworths for ease of care. We did keep one pet 3/4 BFL ewe and sometimes have a few BFL X Coop lambs for sale.
