We specialize in hardy, easy-care sheep with beautiful, prizewinning handspinning fleeces. We have selected sheep for soft, lustrous fleece, fertility, excellent mothering traits, good lamb growth on pasture, and resistance to disease and parasites. We have utilized New Zealand AI genetics in our flock, along with the best domestic Coops available.
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, and are foot rot free.
Because we are serious about the Coopworth emphasis on production, we are currently the only Coopworth flock enrolled in the National Sheep Improvement Program (NSIP), and 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!
In the past we have shipped sheep to 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.
Please call or write for more information.

We Recently purchased the 3 year old Mountain Vewe Daryl, a natural colored quadruplet ram with a beautiful fleece, Mountain Vewe and Hidden Valley bloodlines.
Silver Creek Obsidian, our ram from Oregon. Sid is a twin out of a yearling ewe, who was herself a twin out of a yearling ewe. He combines many generations of sheep that have produced well on pasture in a large commercial flock that utilizes NZ AI genetics.
Deer Run Stanton, a triplet, born 6/11/06 (photo of him with his dam on our home page), sired by Hidden Valley Stilton out of Mountain Vewe Martha. Stan's 60 day adjusted weight was 69 lbs., average daily gain to 60 days was .74 lb. on pasture in hot weather, raised on dam with triplet sibs. NZ AI genetics top and bottom.
Hatchtown Hanna, a silver/blue ewe from Maine, with Deer Run Delilia in the background.Both these ewes have had twins or trips every year since their second years, raising them unassisted on pasture, and shearing beautiful fleeces. Delilia's fleece has won awards at MD Sheep and Wool, and her offspring are continuing the tradition!
