The Sheep Flock

   Sunbonnet farm is now home to registered Clun Forest sheep, thanks to Three Willows Ranch.

   In August of 2016, we imported 4 Clun Forest lambs from Oregon. These lambs will be the foundation of our registered flock, they will also be crossed with our other sheep for new genetics.
Thank you Weston McClain of Three Willows Ranch, for making this possible and all your help in shipping the lambs.

   We are the only farm in the state, raising registered Clun Forest sheep.

     We raise Clun Forest sheep for wool and grazing in our fruit orchards. All of our sheep are friendly, healthy and have names by the time they are 1 year old.
   We keep a flock of about 25 ewes and 3 rams. Two of the rams we have now are registered Clun Forest. Right now we also have 19 lambs.
Most of our sheep are Clun Forest with a bit of Katahdin. We also have 3 half imported Clun ewes, from 2017.

We sell quality breeding stock, grazer/pet sheep, and woolens made from our sheep's wool.
Visit the Lambs page, for photos and information on our 2018 lambs. We have ram lambs, wether lambs and limited ewe lambs, available.

    We breed for healthy docile sheep that thrive in Hawaii's climate, have high quality spinning fleeces, are excellent mothers that raise fast growing lambs. Fleece color is also important to us.
Clun Forest are mostly raised for meat and wool, but they are also used as dairy sheep or crossed with other breeds to improve milking ability. Although are sheep are not raised for meat or milk, growth rate and milk production are important to us.

Flock History:
       We have been raising Clun Forest sheep for over 30 years. In 1985, we imported our first registered Clun Forest sheep from Oregon. We keep a closed flock for our flocks health, only bring in new sheep when we new genetics.
In 2001 we borrowed a pure bred Katahdin ram from the University of Hawaii at Hilo university farm and in 2016 we imported 4 registered Clun Forest lambs from Three Willows Ranch in Eugene, OR.
