Whetstone Prairie Sheep Ranch

Whetstone Prairie Sheep Ranch, Soay sheep in Williamsburg, MO, is situated in Franklin County near St. Louis. The ranch has been breeding Soay sheep for more than ten years, adhering to American Sheep Industry Association guidelines and routine health testing for parasites and hoof care. Lambs graze rotationally on native grasses and receive daily handling to promote gentle temperaments, and ewes calve on open pasture in spring.

Tom Clark and Debbie Dougherty apply techniques rooted in midwestern farming traditions to preserve heritage genetics and sustainable land stewardship. A small flock size allows for individual attention and close monitoring of maternal behavior, supporting strong ewe-lamb bonds. Winter months are spent in well-ventilated barns with ample bedding, ensuring comfort throughout the year.

Fleeces are skirted and evaluated on site to highlight the natural range of Soay wool textures. The breeders emphasize hardiness and adaptability to diverse climates when selecting breeding stock.
