Scruggs Farm

Scruggs Farm, Leicester longwool sheep, Danville, VA, in Southside Virginia near Greensboro. Owned by Sherry Scruggs, it has many years of experience in raising this heritage breed and adheres to recommended health screening protocols for breeding stock.

Animals are raised on pasture with shaded shelters and daily access to fresh forage, which supports gentle temperaments and sturdy growth. Regular handling from lambing onward ensures they become accustomed to human interaction and can thrive in a variety of settings. The farm emphasizes soil health and rotational grazing to maintain vibrant pastures for both sheep and the local ecosystem. Its sheep often exhibit the dense, lustrous fleece prized by handspinners and fiber artists. The farm maintains connections with regional livestock groups to stay current on sustainable farming methods. Lambs are reared alongside adult ewes in small family groups to encourage natural social behaviors.
