Life at Tumble Creek Farm

Tumble Creek Farm is home to beautiful Bluefaced Leicesters, located in sunny central Oregon. Our Blues enjoy irrigated pastures, Cascade mountain views, a change of seasons, and many visitors. Some even travel to local shows and fairs to show off their lovely fleeces, conformation and their gentle personalities.
   Bluefaced Leicesters originated in northern England in the late 1800's and the US flocks began in the late 1990's. Tumble Creek Farm has been raising Blues since 2001 for breeding stock and fabulous fiber. Our rams have gone to work on several commercial flocks and our ewes are producing lambs for the next generations. Through the import of semen from the UK we are able to introduce new bloodlines into our flock via LAI (laproscopic artificial insemination). The soft and silky Bluefaced Leicester fleece is very desirable for handspinners and fiber artists.
   Tumble Creek Farm has a small studio featuring Bluefaced Leicester fleeces, white roving and dyed locks. Contact tumblecreekfarm@gmail.com for an appointment to shop or visit the sheep.
   Start your flock today. Tumble Creek Farm has Bluefaced Leicesters of all ages in white and natural colored fleece. We are taking reservations for the lambs due to arrive in February. The flock is certified scrapie free, enrolled in the export monitored program, tested negative OPP, and the rams are all codon 171 tested.
