Depping's Cheviots

Depping’s Cheviots, Cheviot sheep, Walla Walla, WA, in southeastern Washington near Spokane. Owner Carl L Depping has maintained a focused family program of selective breeding over several years and abides by industry-standard guidelines for registration and health testing.

The family-run farm sits on fertile grassland that supports rotational grazing to optimize soil health. Its flock grazes on open pasture with shelter provided during winter months, and lambs born each spring receive early socialization to support calm temperaments. Comfortable shelters are maintained year-round with access to fresh water, balanced mineral supplements, and timely bedding changes.

Annual shearing and systematic record keeping help monitor fleece density and animal health. Animals often carry lineage from champion stock and benefit from routine veterinary oversight and nutritional management tailored to the breed. A regional review highlighted the flock’s sturdy build and calm temperament upon delivery.
