About Us
Our Story
Love Ewe Farm is located in the beautiful rural setting of Montpelier Virginia, Hanover County, which is northwest of Richmond. Our house sits on 20 acres of farm land and it is here where we decided to start breeding and raising Romney sheep.
I (Betsy) am a retired nurse and empty nester, who is happy to have a flock to nurture and care for. Being a knitter, it is wonderful to grow wool and have our fleeces made into beautiful yarn!
My husband Kevin grew up in northern Pennsylvania as a Future Farmer’s of America boy, and has loved farming from an early age. He isn’t a full timer farmer yet but will be upon retirement!
About the Breed
Romney Sheep , formerly called Romney Marsh, is a long wool, dual purpose breed, originating in England. They are robust, hard working sheep with a calm and gentle temperament. Romney’s are described as being hardy, having a strong constitution, and sound hooves especially in wet conditions. Additionally, Romney ewes are known for easy lambing and being excellent mothers. They have superior fertility, raising an exceptionally high percentage of twins. Overall, the Romney breed provides outstanding options and benefits to sheep producers.
Lambs
Our lambs are born between February and April.
The lambs will nurse with their moms for 60 days.
Lambing season is the most fun for a shepherd!
All of our sheep and our lambs are registered with the American Romney Breeders Association.
The bloodlines in our sheep have come from Romney Breeders within ARBA, and many of those genetics have come from champion rams!
We strive to breed and raise beautiful and loved animals. We hope to find our lambs new farms and shepherds who share our same vision!💜

Daisy and the Shepherd
($5.00 shipping)
On a beautiful English farm, with rolling green hills tucked under white snow capped mountains, lived the Shepherd and the Man. Violet , the proud and noble barn cat, tells the story of the cold and snowy night that a sweet lamb named Daisy was born. This is where the tale begins of little Daisy’s life on the farm as she grows up with her brothers and sisters and also about what they want to be someday!
