Introduction to
SMOKE HAM FARM
| Smoke Ham Farm was established in 1986 with the goal of preserving endangered breeds of domestic livestock, alongside endangered nineteenth century
Midwestern ethnic vernacular farm buildings. Today, six breeds of rare and endangered sheep, numerous poultry, waterfowl, and cattle, reside in fourteen restored pioneer log and timber frame buildings on the 93 acre farm, located in the southeastern Kettle Moraine Forest.
At Smoke Ham Farm, we fully realize the importance of maintaining genetic diversity in today's livestock populations. All of the breeds we raise have been, and continue to be, prized for their hardiness, superb maternal instincts, prolificacy, thriftiness*, and outstanding fleeces. Here the sheep are housed in restored nineteenth century barns, as they were by the immigrant ancestors who brought them here from the old country in centuries past. We endeavor to sell our breeding stock at the lowest possible price, realizing that one of the best ways to promote and encourage husbandry of these fine sheep is to make them affordable. |
