CVM/Romeldale sheep are the most critically rare breed of sheep in the US today according to the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy

Purebred CVM/Romeldales

• Fleece-darker and softer with age

• Bradford count : 60-64

• Wide variety of colors

The Conservancy operates completely on a volunteer staff and donations. We have currently applied for our 501(C)3 non-profit status which will make it easier for individuals and business alike to be able to not only help the CVM/Romeldale as an endangered breed, but also be able to use it as a tax deductible donation. Our mission is to preserve this most unique breed as part of the heritage we hold in this country today.

We invite everyone's suggestions and participation in this incredible journey together.
