Lone Star Commitment

However, in trying our best to preserve the breed, we must say that we believe
people who continue to breed Barbados Blackbelly rams to ewes without giving any
thought to what they will produce for future generations, are not worthy to be
called conservationists. We have a breed standard that has been written and
revered by those wanting to keep this breed safe from a downhill slide towards
extinction. It is published by the Barbados Blackbelly Sheep Association International
and must be taken into consideration each time these sheep are bred. As breeders,
if we are not progressing, then we are either stagnating or regressing. Populating the
earth with sheep bred by watering down the official breed standard isn't going to
leave us much to choose from for breeding stock after the dust settles, and it benefits
no one. We must preserve today the qualities we want for tomorrow before they
are totally lost and we find we have nothing to choose from for breeding stock.
At Lone Star Farm we are committed to being the best stewards we can be of the
genetics of the original landrace Barbados Blackbelly that was imported from
Barbados. We would like to help you do the same by providing some of the finest
quality breeding stock, with pedigrees to match, that you will find anywhere in the
United States today. We have worked hard to be successful at preserving and
conserving this breed. We will answer honestly any questions you may have about
our sheep.
Our motto is: We are interested in preserving and conserving this breed, not
just promoting our own sheep. Please don't hesitate to contact us with any
inquiries you may have.
