Christopher Pinckney

Christopher Pinckney, Cheviot sheep, Clyde, NY, serves Wayne County and the Finger Lakes region near Rochester. He has bred Cheviot sheep for over a decade and participates in national sheep breeders associations with routine health evaluations, genetic screening, and parasite monitoring for his flock. His breeding program emphasizes structural soundness and genetic diversity.

Lambs are born and raised on pasture with daily turnout, secure fenced paddocks, and early handling to encourage calm temperaments. Ewes and lambs enjoy open barn yards with access to fresh water, quality forage, shade, and shelter year-round. The farm sits on land his family has worked for three generations and features well-ventilated, climate-controlled barn spaces for lambing season. Christopher often shares care techniques with neighboring farms. Pedigree records track fleece density, staple length, and coat uniformity, and the flock follows rotational grazing to support pasture health.
