Ryker Swartz

Ryker Swartz raises Cheviot sheep in Attica, NY, in Western New York near Buffalo. He has been breeding Cheviot sheep for over a decade and maintains registrations with the American Cheviot Sheep Society and the National Sheep Improvement Program. His flock grazes rotationally across open pastures with access to natural shelters, reflecting his emphasis on pasture health and animal welfare.

Lambs receive daily handling for early socialization, building trust and a calm temperament suited to family farms. Historic barns and wooden fencing on Crow Creek Family Farm provide a serene setting that echoes local agricultural traditions. Seasonal shearing under professional supervision yields soft, durable wool prized by local crafters. Regular veterinary evaluations and on-site hoof trimming ensure sound structure and prompt care.
