Riverview Farm

Riverview Farm, Barbados blackbelly sheep, Jurupa Valley, CA, serves growers in Riverside County near Riverside. Owner Sundi Prechtl has welcomed a small flock for several seasons, follows breed association guidelines, and keeps records to ensure clear lineage.

Her membership in regional livestock groups keeps her informed on evolving health protocols and breeding standards. The sheep graze on river-adjacent pastures where shelter and fresh water are available year round and gentle handling from an early age helps develop calm adaptable animals.

Breeding selections focus on hardiness and efficient foraging so that the flock thrives even in dryer seasons without intensive feed inputs. Sundi values clear ongoing communication and welcomes questions about flock health, genetics and pasture management based on a respectful long term viewpoint. Their small scale allows attention to individual needs while preserving the breed’s characteristic form and lively temperament for a range of homestead or commercial purposes.
