Ashley Moore

Ashley Moore, Cheviot sheep breeder in White Lake, SD, raises stock in Aurora County and eastern South Dakota near Mitchell. For several years, she has been dedicated to maintaining breed standards through regular health testing, genetic screening and registration with national sheep associations.

Her flock grazes on rotational pasture rich in native grasses and is handled daily from birth to encourage calm temperaments and ease of lambing. Lambs are weaned gradually and introduced to sheltered lambing barns to promote early socialization and herd cohesion. Raised on a family homestead with roots in the region, her Cheviot sheep supply wool to local crafters and educational 4-H programs.

Owners often note the mild disposition, sturdy build and consistent health of her lambs during regional fairs. She participates in county and state breed shows to stay informed of best practices and connect with fellow Cheviot breeders. By following a modest stocking rate, her flock supports soil health and offers a reliable sample of the Cheviot temperament for small-scale shepherds.
