Blakesley Creek Farm

Blakesley Creek Farm Blakesley Creek Farm is a small farm in the foothills of the Oregon coastal mountain range.i We added registered Wensleydale sheep about 20 years ago.

40 years ago we found our lovely piece of property- only 10 acres, all we could afford. Slowly we've built a house, a barn, chicken coop and rabbitry, as well as raised two very wonderful, bright and capable kids here. After years of raising other breeds of sheep, I fell in love with Wensleydales and have found them to be the perfect fit, and wonderfully adapted to Oregon's climate, mud and all. S

ince Wensleydales come from the UK, we've used AI over many years to upgrade toward purebred sheep. We are now at 95% and higher Wensleydales and looking forward to a purebred North American Wensleydale flock in the near future. We are one of approximately 30 Wensleydale Sheep breeders in North America. Wensleydales are a very long wooled, lustrous fiber sheep with it's origins going back to 1838 and a famous Teeswater and Leicester ram named Blue Cap.
