Black Pines Farm

Black Pines Farm raises Teeswater sheep in Eaton, CO, serving northern Colorado and the Denver area. It is run by Roy Dow, who has been raising these gentle sheep for several years and follows breed club guidelines for health testing and conformation. The flock grazes on open pasture near Weld County Road 80, with attention to rotational grazing and regular handling to foster calm temperaments.

Lambs are socialized from birth and spend time indoors and out, which helps develop their characteristic lustrous fleece. The farm’s emphasis on fiber quality has earned praise from local hand spinners and weavers. Visitors often remark on the relaxed pace and the farm’s commitment to sustainable practices.

The farm uses ultrasound scanning and hoof trimming schedules to maintain flock wellness and supports conservation of the Teeswater lineage. Its small-scale approach and attention to individual animal welfare reflect a deep respect for traditional shepherding.
