We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas holiday. We will be walking our sheep home this Saturday, January 3, 2026. We plan to pass through Lincoln about 8 AM. The best place for public viewing is the south end of Lincoln on the meeting house lawn. Please remember to stand fully out of the roadways, and please refrain from following along or walking in the road between our sheep and vehicles. This helps us keep everyone in our group together and to move our ewes safely home for lambing season. Have a wonderful last few days of 2025, and see you on Saturday!

2025 Cochran Sheep Drive Details: Hi, everyone! Happy New Year! Thank you for your patience as we worked out a few additional details for this year. Allen will be unable to walk the distance due to an injury in his ankle/leg…but our sheep still need to get home this weekend for lambing (& before the possible snow)! So, our plan is for Allen & I to ride on one UTV, & for our family to ride in another UTV to bring up the rear. This year, in particular, please stand back from the roadways (& refrain from following along) so that our group is not separated, & Allen & our border collies can stay in sync with the sheep. We plan to pass through Lincoln on Saturday, January 4th, at 8 AM. The best spot for viewing is the south end of Lincoln on the Goose Creek Meeting or Oakdale School lawn. Thanks again for all of the community love & support! We are so grateful to have grown up in Lincoln & to have raised our girls(& animals) in western Loudoun on Stone Eden Farm! Here’s to 2025!! 🎉

2025 update: Good evening, everyone! We hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season. We’ve received a great deal of questions regarding when and if we will be walking our sheep home this year. Unfortunately, we have run into an unexpected (medical injury)issue that is making it difficult to finalize the details. While we are tentatively planning to bring our sheep home on the morning of January 4, 2025, I am unable to confirm the final details until at least tomorrow afternoon after a medical appointment. Thank you for your patience, and I will post/share more details on/after Tuesday the 31st! 🐑♥️ Thank you again for your patience and understanding!
