With a modest flock managed on rolling pastureland, Connie Dunn follows time-honored husbandry practices tailored to the needs of this resilient breed. The operation rotates pastures to maintain diverse forage, schedules routine veterinary screenings and keeps detailed records tracking health, lineage and wool quality. Lambs are gently introduced to daily handling early, which helps them stay calm during shearing, foot trimming and regular care routines.

Connie’s low-stress handling methods and attentive monitoring support consistent breed traits and reliable temperaments across the flock. These practices produce lambs praised for strong bone structure, fine wool and adaptable grazing habits in cooler climates.
