L&M Ranch

L&M Ranch is a Soay sheep breeder in La Veta, Colorado, Huerfano County near Pueblo. The ranch follows guidelines set by national sheep breeders associations and maintains a routine health testing program.

Owner Marc Liorah draws on years of hands-on experience to manage breeding selections and oversee pasture rotation. Owners keep the flock on rotational pastures that encourage natural grazing and ensure lambs are socialized from birth in well-ventilated shelters. Focusing on the hardy traits of the Soay breed, they select breeding stock with strong hoof and fleece qualities rooted in conservation bloodlines.

All breeding stock is registered with the national Soay sheep registry to maintain transparent pedigrees. Their fleeces are prized by local artisans for natural luster and adaptability to hand spinning. Visitors often remark on the sheep’s calm demeanor and the farm’s relaxed pace that reflects a commitment to thoughtful husbandry.
