Haslem Sheep

Haslem Sheep, Romney sheep in Battleground, Washington, is a family-run farm in Clark County and southwestern Washington near Portland. Tracy Haslem and Mary Jo Haslem have raised sheep for over twenty years, both participating in the American Romney Breeders Association and maintaining annual health screenings to support flock welfare. Its Romney lambs grow in open pastures with shelter access and are socialized from an early age, with routine handling that eases future farm or fiber work.

The flock includes several bloodlines noted for strong fleece and calm temperaments, traits reflected in consistent harvest quality and even-handed behavior around visitors. The farm’s fiber is sought after by local millers who value the natural luster and staple length of Romney fleece. Haslem Sheep hosts occasional on-farm demonstrations that highlight sustainable pasture rotation and traditional husbandry, giving a transparent look at day-to-day operations. Families and fiber artists appreciate the blend of heritage practices and modern welfare standards that guide this multigenerational operation.
