Sliding S

Sliding S, Barbados blackbelly sheep in Caldwell, ID, operates in Canyon County and Boise. Sliding S is managed by seasoned shepherd Susan Severns, who has over a decade of experience with heritage sheep breeds and holds membership in national registries. Each ewe and ram receives routine health screening and thrives in wide pastures maintained with rotational grazing and shelter from Idaho’s variable weather.

Lambs are socialized from birth and spend time in a small barnyard where visitors can witness gentle handling. Several lambs have garnered ribbons at local fairs and state livestock shows. The flock’s calm temperament and adaptable foraging habits suit both new shepherds and homesteaders seeking a manageable breed.

Owners often remark on the flock’s friendly disposition and the clear guidance provided by Sliding S on seasonal care. The farm sits on gentle foothills overlooking irrigated pastures, providing well-drained soils that encourage healthy grass growth.
