Riverbank Farm

Riverbank Farm’s Clun Forest sheep in Salisbury, NH, in Merrimack County near Concord emphasize heritage breeding and health testing. Owned by veterinarian Matthew Mason, DVM, the farm has been raising Clun Forest sheep for over a decade with membership in the American Sheep Industry Association and routine genetic screening.

The flock grazes rotationally on pasture adjacent to the farmstead, benefiting from regular health checks and year-round shelter. Lambs are socialized through early handling and follow a low-stress transitioning process to ensure they adapt smoothly to new homes. Several lambs have been featured at regional fiber gatherings, reflecting a commitment to wool quality and sustainability.

Sustainable land management practices support soil health and improve forage diversity across their rolling fields. Visitors often note the flock’s gentle temperament and the clarity of health records provided with each lamb. The farm raises lambs primarily for breeding stock and fiber, with an emphasis on moderate frame size and strong maternal instincts.
