Foley Peak Farms

Foley Peak Farms, American blackbelly sheep, Nehalem, OR, Tillamook County and the Oregon Coast near Portland. Lin Storey and Mark Storey follow established guidelines for genetic health, maintain detailed records for each sheep, and partner with a local veterinarian for annual evaluations. Their breeding program stems from a commitment to sound conformation and gentle dispositions, aiming to produce animals suited to diverse flock management styles. They emphasize sustainable practices that support both land and livestock well-being, including rotational grazing to maintain pasture health and minimize environmental impact.

The flock grazes on coastal pastures and rotates through timbered areas to preserve soil and vegetation. Lambs benefit from early handling and exposure to the family homestead to foster trust and adaptability. Feed consists mainly of local hay and pasture growth, supporting robust health without supplements. Local 4-H groups visit the farm to learn about sheep care and pasture management.
