Kathy Bombria

Kathy Bombria raises Lincoln Longwool sheep in Columbia, CT, within Tolland County and the Quiet Corner near Hartford. She has been breeding this heritage breed for several years, is a member of the Lincoln Longwool Breeders Group, and follows breed association guidelines for health screenings. All ewes are tested annually for common flock health concerns, and records are kept for parasite management and genetic tracking.

Her flock grazes on open pastures, with lambs receiving daily socialization to ensure calm, adaptable temperaments. Animals are sheltered in a well-ventilated barn and receive balanced nutrition based on soil- and forage-testing results. Her traditional wool production approach highlights the breed’s lustrous, long-stapled fleece valued by local spinners. Prospective owners can discuss lamb availability and receive advice on pasture management and wool processing. Her dedication to transparent breeding practices has fostered trust among local fiber artists and hobby farmers.
