Double J

Double J is a breeder of Leicester longwool sheep in Oregon City, OR, in Clackamas County near Portland. Owner Joanie Livermore has many years of experience working with farm flocks and follows guidelines from the Oregon Sheep Breeders Association for health testing and genetic selection. Each flock member lives on pasture with open shelters for shade and wind protection, and lambs are gently handled from birth to support calm temperaments. Double J’s pastoral setup includes rotational grazing on rolling fields that promote natural forage growth and hoof health.

The fleece from each animal is valued by local spinners for its strong staples, fine luster, and consistent fiber length. Joanie’s approach balances traditional farm traditions with modern animal welfare practices to maintain a healthy, social flock. Reviewers have highlighted the flock’s docile nature and uniform lamb growth as signs of careful genetic selection. The farm maintains thorough records of each sheep’s lineage and health history for transparency and ongoing improvement.
