North Country Cheviot Sheep
About Us
Maloy Valley Farm raises North Country Cheviot Sheep providing seedstock that can both meet the needs of the commercial sheep producer and also include superior genetics that can be used to enhance purebred flocks.
We continue to carefully manage our flock with a focus on maintaining thick, hardy sheep with substantial capacity, along with correct structure and breed type. The North Country Cheviot has a well earned reputation for tolerating harsh weather conditions and their newborn's desire to live and their ability to get up and nurse is unparalleled. Our goal is to retain these important breed characteristics in our sheep.
Maloy Valley Farm is proud to have sold sheep to both purebred and commercial sheep producers located across the United States and Canada.

MVF 134 Stud Ram
Our Senior Stud Ram Maloy Valley Farm (MVF) 134 is shown here in his working clothes as are the other stud rams pictured. The 0134 ram is very thick and extremely correct and passes those traits onto his lambs.
Maloy 0134 is a RR codon ram, bred and raised here on the farm. We have been fortunate to retain many of his best daughters within our ewe flock.

MVF 134 Stud Ram
The MVF 316 Ram is a RR Codon ram bred and raised here on Maloy Valley Farm. He has good length and depth of body, and is very correct. He is sired by our Cabin Run ram and provides out cross genetics for use on our Power Ball and PBJ daughters. In our view, MVF 316 represents a perfect example of the ideal North Country Cheviot Ram.

Our former Stud Powerball was the Champion Ram that we acquired from the 2014 National Sale for the North Country Cheviot Breed. Raised by Clayhill Ranch, he was named Supreme Champion Ram over all breeds and has had a tremendous influence on our flock. Of note he is the sire of MVF 134.

During winter months, the ewes have access to hay, but typically prefer grazing unless the ground is snow covered. North Country Cheviot Sheep are known to possess excellent mothering skills and possess both size and feminine breed type. We retain replacement ewes from our own flock and focus on milk production and weaning weight of lambs.

Our North Country Cheviot Sheep breeding program continues to produce lambs that are very correct, possess length and scale, and are heavily muscled. We sell both ram and ewe lambs. Most of our ewe lambs go to purebred flocks. Our ram lamb customers include commercial sheep producers, as well as purebred flocks. We wean our lambs in June. Weaning weights are typically 75 to 100 pounds. Our ram lambs, which are on grass pasture during the summer months, typically weigh 135-140 pounds in late summer. We believe in having a strong "pasture conditioned" ram to sell to our customers.
