Juniata Valley Soay Sheep

Juniata Valley Soay Sheep are Soay sheep breeders in N. Lewiston, PA, serving Juniata County and central Pennsylvania near Harrisburg. The farm’s roots date to a family-run hobby and over several years they have built a flock focused on breed standard conformation and health screening under guidance from recognized sheep breeding associations.

Their ewes and lambs graze on rotational pasture and access a sheltered barn, where daily handling supports calm temperaments and early socialization. The Morningstars collaborate with local fiber artisans to process fleece for hand spinning and natural dye projects, reflecting a commitment to sustainable farming and heritage crafts. Visitors often note the healthy appearance of the flock and the Morningstars’ willingness to share care tips. They participate in local sheep and wool events to exchange knowledge and support emerging shepherds. Their conservation-minded approach contributes breeding stock to regional preservation programs.
