"We started raising sheep because, like you, we want to know where our food comes from and that it was raised humanely."
Forza Ranch is a small family farm in Virginia, built around a single belief: animals raised well produce food worth eating. We run a closed flock of purebred St. Croix sheep — a rare American heritage breed — on rotating pasture with no antibiotics, no vaccines, and no herbicides used on our land.
This isn't farming as a business plan. It's farming as a way of life. We're out with the flock every day, moving them to fresh ground, watching them thrive the way sheep were meant to — on grass, under open sky.
When you buy from us, you're buying directly from the people who raised your animal. We're always happy to talk.
We don't use a lot of jargon. Here's what we actually do.
We will never sell an animal — for meat or for breeding — that has been treated with antibiotics or vaccines. If a sheep is sick and needs medicine, we treat it and care for it, but it won't be sold to you. Our pastures are never sprayed with herbicides. The animals graze clean ground, and what goes into the land matters as much as what goes into the animals.
We practice regenerative agriculture here. That's an agricultural practice that improves everything day-by-day — the livestock, the soil, the water, the farmers, and the community as a whole. If you come visit, you'll see that agricultural production can work in harmony with natural ecosystems while producing high-quality food.
The St. Croix is one of the few sheep breeds developed in the Americas. Originally from the Caribbean, they arrived in the United States centuries ago and were nearly lost entirely. Today the breed is listed as a conservation priority by the Livestock Conservancy.
What makes them special: they shed their own wool (no shearing needed), they're exceptional mothers, they twin and even triple consistently, and they carry a natural resistance to internal parasites — meaning a healthy flock can thrive without the chemical dewormers that most sheep operations depend on.
The meat is lean, mild, and clean — nothing like the gamey flavor people sometimes associate with lamb. First-timers are usually surprised.
We sell direct — no middlemen, no grocery store markups. You're buying from the family that raised the animal. Our lamb is custom-processed at a USDA-inspected facility and packaged for your freezer.
Availability is seasonal and limited. We recommend reaching out early — spots fill up quickly. We'll walk you through the whole process.
Reserve Your Lamb
We periodically have registered St. Croix rams, ewes, and ewe lambs available. All animals come from our closed flock — no outside genetics introduced, so you know exactly what you're getting.
Our selection criteria: parasite resistance, maternal performance, multiple births, structure, and temperament. We don't sell animals we wouldn't keep ourselves.
We periodically have St. Croix × Katahdin crosses available as well. These animals carry the St. Croix's exceptional parasite resistance with the added frame and body size of the Katahdin — a great option for producers looking for a meatier animal without sacrificing hardiness.
We're happy to talk through what would work best for your operation. Whether you're starting a new flock or looking to add genetics to an existing one, reach out and we'll have a real conversation.
