With a long history in organic and regenerative permaculture, the Cordon-on-Branch Woolgathering Collective was born in early 2017 out of friendship and a common purpose and desire to compliment the life in our producing orchards and vineyards. In March of that year we obtained our foundation flock of registered Olde English Southdown Babydoll sheep. We were swiftly—and enduringly hence—won over by their gentleness and irresistible charm; it was the best decision we could have made.

Our sheep are raised on free-range pastures, as they tend the vineyards of Campo de Vina in Watts Valley, Ca. and the nearby meadows of Lame Horse Ranch in Shaver Lake, Ca.

We are breeding specifically for orchard and vineyard management, while upholding and improving the breed. Our lambs and adults are raised together as pasture pets in close and affectionate relation to people and around many other animals in an organic setting. All of our black and off-white lambs are registered with both OEBSR and NABSSAR, while our spotted lambs are registered only with OEBSR per registry standards. We keep a closed and disease-free flock.

Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.
