Sheep Breeding Stock in Idaho | Aslam & Makkah Farm

Program focus

Steady sheep for pasture systems.

Our sheep program is for buyers who want animals that do well on pasture with consistent routines. We focus on calm movement, steady condition, and practical mothering traits when history is available.

Calm movementWe value sheep that move predictably with low drama — easier on fences, handlers, and dogs.
Maternal practicalityWhen documented, we consider lambing behavior and general steadiness.
Condition and thriftinessWe look for sheep that maintain appropriate condition under our management approach.
Fit checksWe ask about predators, fencing, and pasture rotation — those are common make‑or‑break factors.

What you receive

Practical notes and a transition checklist.

For each group, we share the information we have available. Typical items include:

Age estimate & group detailsSo you can plan breeding or pasture goals realistically.
Care notes we maintainRoutine notes and observations (verify your local program with your veterinarian).
Handling notesWhat we observe around movement, gates, and loading.
First‑week checklistSimple setup tips for water, minerals, pasture, and monitoring after arrival.

Fiber / wool expectations

If fiber is a priority, tell us. We’ll share what we can, but we avoid sweeping quality claims without documentation.

Common reasons buyers add sheep

Three typical goals — and what we ask to confirm fit.

Pasture management

You want sheep as part of a grazing plan. We’ll ask about rotation, water access, and fencing details.

Small flock for family use

You want a manageable flock with calm movement. We’ll ask about predators, shelter, and your time for observation.

Breeding group

You’re building a breeding plan. We’ll ask about your lambing season preference and management style.

Timing

Seasonal planning (less stress, better transitions)

Moves are easier when weather is moderate and you can monitor closely. Tell us your region and timeline — we’ll suggest a practical pickup window.

Spring	Common window for adding groups to new pasture systems.
Fall	Often a good time to settle sheep before winter routines.
Extreme weather	We try to avoid stressful moves when possible.

Sheep program FAQ

Answers to the most common questions from new and returning buyers.

Do you sell rams?

Availability varies by season. If you need a ram, tell us your timeline and goals. We’ll be honest about what we have and what might be better sourced elsewhere.

Are your sheep hair sheep or wool sheep?

Type can vary by season. If your priority is low‑maintenance, fiber, or a specific production goal, share it and we’ll discuss realistic options.

Do you provide health papers?

We share our notes and what we track. Official requirements depend on destination and transport. Coordinate with your veterinarian and hauler; we’ll support where possible.

Can you guarantee lambing results?

No. Lambing outcomes depend on genetics, nutrition, management, and environment. We share documented history when available and communicate honestly about unknowns.

Can I buy just one sheep?

Sheep are flock animals and usually do best with companions. If you need a single animal for a specific reason, contact us and we’ll talk through what’s best for the animal.

What should I prepare before pickup?

Secure fencing, clean water, minerals appropriate for sheep, and a low‑stress transition pen for the first days. We’ll send a short checklist as part of the process.

Tell us about your pasture and predator pressure.

Those two details shape everything. Add your timeline and group size and we’ll reply with the best next step.
