Dahl Farm

Dahl Farm Romney sheep in Bear Lake, PA, is nestled in northwest Pennsylvania near Erie. The farm has been breeding Romney sheep for over twelve years following breeder club standards and national sheep improvement protocols with routine hoof trimming, parasite management, and annual veterinary exams.

The flock rotates across fenced paddocks of mixed grasses and legumes to enhance forage variety and pasture health. A well-ventilated barn offers straw bedding and shelter during harsh winters, while open runs encourage natural movement year-round. Under Christine Dahl’s care, each breeding ewe receives an individualized nutrition plan tailored to lifestage needs, ensuring strong condition for lambing. Lambs experience consistent human interaction from birth, which promotes sociability and ease during routine handling.

As a family-run operation, Dahl Farm transforms wool into locally crafted fiber goods and shares seasonal workshops on sheep care. This attention to every life stage supports genetic diversity and fosters resilient animals adapted to the region’s changing climate.
