Ponker Farm was established in 2015 on the top of an Ozark mountain in North Central Arkansas only twelve miles south of the Missouri state line.

Our sheep are genetically strong. We currently raise Texel crosses. Soon, Dutch Spotted Sheep will join our farm from imported embryos. In addition, we will participate in the Dutch Spotted Sheep Society US grading Up Program. Spring lambs are available every year for freezer and pasture.

Bio-security is very important for our farm. The sheep are tested for the communicable diseases that cause suffering for the animals and devastation for the farm. (CL, Johne's, OPP) We buy only proven clean and healthy stock and even then, quarantine to ensure the health and well being of our beloved flock. We gladly provide the results of our testing to any prospective buyer. In addition, past results are available here.

All Ponker Farm sheep have a known Codon 171 designation. Visit the ewe and ram pages to learn more about our wonderful sheep.

October 1, 2024 our six Dutch Spotted Sheep embryos will be transferred to recipient ewes for Spring 2025 lambs!
