Celebrating 40 years of Raising Clun Forest Sheep in Hawaii!
1985 - 2025
Sunbonnet Farm is the only farm in the state of Hawaii raising registered Clun Forest sheep.
Our sheep are rasied for grass management in our orchards, to sell quality stock and wool. All of our sheep are friendly, healthy and have names.
We keep a flock of about 28 ewes and 5 rams. Four of the rams we have now are imported registered Clun Forest.
We currently have 16 purebred Registered Cluns, including our 5 rams.
About half of our flock are Clun Forest with a bit of Katahdin from many generations back. They are in all ways much like purebred Cluns.
We sell quality breeding stock, grazer/pet sheep, and woolens made from our sheep's wool.
We breed for easy to manage sheep that thrive in Hawaii's climate, have high quality spinning fleeces and are excellent mothers that raise fast growing lambs. Natural colored fleeces are a bonus, but hardiness, growth rate, mothering and the breed standard are our top priorities.
Although are sheep are not raised for meat or milk, growth rate and milk production are important to us. Our sheep would be great for multipurpose flocks and to improve growth rate and size in meat sheep flock.
Flock History:
We have been raising Clun Forest sheep for 40 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 need new genetics.In 2001 we borrowed a purebred 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 Oregon.
In 2019, we imported 3 more lambs from Three Willows Ranch, the lambs fathers' are from imported AI British genetics, from Touchstone Farm, in VA.
