Farmer to Farmer

One aspect of our farm is our robust breeding program for Texel sheep and Dexter cattle. While we have a passion for feeding our local community great food we also believe in high quality breeding animals.

Texel Sheep

As a terminal sire breed originating from the island of Texel in the Netherlands these sheep offer amazing muscling, high gains on grass alone, mild flavored meat, and springy white wool. Their friendly nature makes them a pleasure to work with - I truly could not imagine a better breed for my farm. 

Dexter Cattle

Ireland is the birthplace of this "small cow", and they have found a happy home here at SouthView. We love them for their ease of management both in hardiness as well as in their calm nature. They are not "miniature" cows like some breed off-shoots (jersey minis for example), but instead are just truly a small breed all their own.
