Silver Creek Lambscapes

Silver Creek Lambscapes, a Romney sheep breeder in Silverton, OR, in the Willamette Valley near Salem, brings more than a decade of experience raising hardy, dual-purpose sheep. The operation follows guidelines from national sheep associations and its stock undergoes routine health screenings for parasites and footrot.

Animals graze rotationally on fenced pasture and older fields have been restored with native forage blends to support sustainable grazing. Lambs are socialized daily and spend their first weeks in a low-stress barn with open-air pens to encourage gentle temperaments.

Breeding selections focus on maternal traits, wool quality and calm dispositions suited for small farms or homesteads. Family-run since its founding by Maria Rooney, the farm is known in local circles for steady flock performance and responsive communication with new owners. Rooney participates in local shepherd guilds and shares best practices at regional gatherings.
