Van Bull

Van Bull is a Cheviot sheep breeder in Bridgeville, DE, serving Sussex County and the Delmarva Peninsula near Salisbury. This family-run operation has more than a decade of experience, is active in national sheep associations, and follows routine health testing for parasite resistance and hoof care.

Animals graze on rotated pastures where daily handling helps lambs and ewes develop trusting temperaments. They have access to a temperature-controlled lambing barn and secure perimeter fencing for visitor and animal safety. Quarantine protocols for new arrivals and routine hoof trimming reflect a proactive approach to overall flock wellness.

Small-flock management and measured growth allow close monitoring of each animal through lambing season. Genetic selection focuses on maternal instincts and frame size to support both small-scale growers and fiber producers. Reviews note consistent wool quality and gentle disposition, reflecting a commitment to the breed’s characteristic hardiness and versatility.
