Duff Family Cheviots

Duff Family Cheviots, Cheviot sheep, Bloomingburg, OH, Fayette County near Columbus. Jason and Emily Duff have raised Cheviot sheep for more than fifteen years, holding active membership in the National Cheviot Sheep Society and adhering to comprehensive health screening guidelines. Their flock lives on rotational pasture that changes with the seasons, with particular focus on gentle handling, early socialization, and biosecurity measures to support flock health.

The farm, established in 1938, preserves a small registered flock that has earned awards at regional fairs for wool quality and structural soundness. A well-ventilated barn is used for lambing season, and each animal receives regular hoof trimming, targeted parasite control, and annual veterinary evaluations. Their approach emphasizes balanced nutrition with locally sourced hay and grain mixes, contributing to consistent growth rates and a calm disposition among lambs and adult sheep. Community members note the family’s willingness to share breeding insights and their commitment to preserving this heritage breed.
