Teryl Wood

Teryl Wood, Romney sheep, Port Orchard, WA, in Kitsap County and the Puget Sound near Seattle. She has bred Romney sheep for over a decade, holds membership in the American Romney Club, and adheres to annual health screenings for parasite resistance and hoof care. All breeding stock undergoes monthly fecal egg count monitoring and a selective hoof trimming schedule to support natural resilience.

Each lamb is pasture-raised on rolling hills with rotational grazing to encourage natural foraging and strong hooves. Lambs are handled daily from an early age and reside in family-managed paddocks, promoting a calm temperament. A focus on soft, resilient wool has earned fleece awards at local fairs. Her on-site wool loft features climate-controlled storage and regular fiber grading to ensure consistent quality. Neighbors and 4-H mentors appreciate her openness in sharing husbandry tips and supporting new shepherds.
