Anchorage Farm

Anchorage Farm, Romney sheep in Saugerties, NY, is set in the Hudson Valley near Albany. Stephen and Elizabeth Shafer have been breeding Romney sheep for over a decade through the North American Romney Breeders Association, and they follow routine health screenings, parasite management, and registry standards. Their flock grazes on lush rotational pastures and winters in well-ventilated barns close to the family home, and lambs are socialized from birth.

Fleeces from Anchorage Farm are prized by regional fiber artists for consistent staple length and natural luster. The flock often competes at county fairs and livestock shows, reflecting the care invested in breeding for temperament and wool quality. Each spring, lambing season is carefully managed with close monitoring to support early growth and wellbeing.

Their sheep’s calm temperament makes them suitable for educational farm visits and family-friendly environments. The Shafer family’s commitment to sustainable pasture management supports soil health and animal welfare.
