LaFour Ranch

LaFour Ranch raises Soay sheep in Paradise Valley, a ranch community in northern Nevada near the Oregon and Idaho border, roughly 90 miles north of Winnemucca. Run by Daryl Riersgard, the ranch overlooks Martin Creek as it flows out of the Santa Rosa Mountains, with access to clean air and the scenery of the nearby national forest.

The program focuses on registered British Soay sheep, and the ranch holds an American RBST Foundation Flock designation (USA00013) as well as Nevada Scrapies certification. That emphasis on British Soay lines reflects a commitment to the original, traceable bloodstock rather than the composite American Soay type. Riersgard is also part of a small network of like-minded breeders working to promote purebred, RBST-registered Soay sheep in North America.

The ranch operates as a diversified operation, with the Soay flock managed alongside livestock guardian dogs used for herd protection. For those seeking Soay sheep in Nevada, LaFour Ranch represents one of the few RBST-registered sources in the region.
