Karine Bouis-towe

Karine Bouis-towe raises heritage sheep in Lowville, New York, in Lewis County and the Tug Hill Plateau near Utica. With more than a decade of experience, she participates in national sheep registry programs and follows recommended health screenings to promote parasite resistance and overall wellness.

Each lamb begins life in a sheltered barn with straw bedding before joining rotational pastures, ensuring access to fresh forage and clean water. Lambs are handled from an early age to foster calm behavior and ease management during shearing or veterinary care. The farm’s commitment to sustainable grazing, balanced nutrition and soil health reflects a broader goal of preserving genetic diversity.

A background in fiber arts informs careful selection for fleece quality, and feedback from local weavers notes the soft texture and natural luster. These heritage sheep are often cited by neighbors for their gentle disposition and the farm’s respectful approach to animal welfare.
