William Claflin

William Claflin, Corriedale sheep in Devore Heights, CA, serves the Inland Empire near San Bernardino. He draws on years of hands-on experience and works with veterinary professionals to ensure the flock’s health.

He follows breeding standards, maintains health records on each Corriedale, and collaborates with area extension programs to improve flock management. All breeding stock undergoes routine foot trimming, parasite control, and nutritional assessments, and pastures are rotated seasonally to maintain soil health. His sheep graze on natural pasture and receive daily handling to foster calm temperaments and strong resilience, with special attention during lambing season.

Every lamb is raised with balanced nutrition, social interaction, and ample shelter, reflecting his commitment to sustainable, farm-based breeding and long-term flock vitality. Local farmers often comment on the uniform wool quality, consistent fleece weight, and friendly nature of his lambs, noting their suitability for small-scale flocks and fiber artisans. He keeps thorough lineage records and works closely with buyers to match stock to homesteading, dairy, or fiber production goals without relying on hype.
