Bush Creek Farm

Bush Creek Farm breeds Barbados blackbelly sheep in Elma, WA, serving Grays Harbor County and the Olympic Peninsula near Olympia. Drawing on years of hands-on experience, Rita Guill ensures each sheep undergoes regular health screenings, parasite management protocols, and seasonal mineral supplementation to address regional climate challenges. Lineage records and genetic tracking help maintain the breed’s hardiness and unique characteristics.

The flock grazes on rotational pastures with access to a climate-sheltered barn and early socialization to foster a calm temperament. They integrate sustainable grazing practices that support pasture health and biodiversity. Lambing takes place in a monitored barnyard setting, allowing gentle handling from day one.

Bush Creek Farm operates from a family homestead with a focus on careful breeding and land stewardship. Local reviewers appreciate the farm’s transparent breeding approach and the well-conditioned lambs that adapt smoothly to new environments.
