Emett Ranch

Emett Ranch raises Barbados Blackbelly sheep in Sequim, WA, on the Olympic Peninsula near Port Angeles. Amy Emett and James Emett are dedicated breeders who follow registry standards and perform routine health testing to maintain strong genetics and sound temperaments. Their flock grazes on open fields that are rotated seasonally, and lambs are socialized from an early age to foster calm, approachable animals.

As a small family operation, they emphasize sustainable pasture-based husbandry that nurtures both flock well-being and local ecosystems. Many customers commend their clear guidance on sheep care and appreciate the opportunity to visit the ranch and see the animals in a natural setting. Their transparent approach and commitment to animal welfare reflect a genuine passion for preserving the breed’s best traits. They support local shearers and regularly participate in regional agricultural fairs to share knowledge and insights about the breed.
