WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE.

Fairfield Finns is an ethically run family farm at Bullengarook in Victoria’s
beautiful Macedon Ranges. We breed our Finns for their exquisite, soft wool,
their calm temperament and their clean breech and short tails. Our sheep are
never mulesed and tail docking is unnecessary.

Finns are multiple lambing, rare, heritage breed sheep that can have up to 7
lambs in one birthing. Our highest is Quintuplets, but there have been
septuplets born in Australia. Our farm is a delight in spring time with many
sets of triplets flourishing in the paddocks, and we usually have some bottle
fed lambs also.

We believe the friendly temperament of the Finns is inherent from being in sheds
for most of the year in Finland. We have bred up black Finns from Bond
Corriedales over many, many years and believe these are the only Pure bred black
Finns in Australia.

Finns have recently been added to the Rare Breeds Registry and have been classed
as critical in Australia because of such low numbers.

If you would like to try Finns we do have limited numbers of sheep at $800 per
ewe and $1200 per ram.. We are selective in where the animals are placed. Semen
is sold for $50 per straw, Australia wide and more for overseas depending on
which country it is exported to.

The wool is unique in its very low prickle factor – you can wear it against your
skin. In Finland it is worn as underwear throughout the winter.

Our yarn is 100% Australian. Grown here at Bullengarook, scoured at Geelong and
processed at Bacchus Marsh, then spun at Wangaratta. This is some of the only
Pure Finn Yarn available in Australia.

Have a look at our shop. We sell raw fleece and tops for spinning and felting,
and of course our beautiful yarn.




ABOUT US

Maureen & Gerry Shepherd

(Store owners)

We have a wonderful historic shearing shed on our property and our name is
Shepherd – how could we not have sheep!

We have been breeding Finnsheep now for 31 years. It has been a steep learning
curve but our management of our Finns has improved over the years and we can
always look forward to lambing percentages of well over 200%.

After visiting Finland in 2004 we were keen to try to breed the first coloured
Finns in Australia. Import of semen from Finland is almost impossible now so we
have bred up from coloured Bond Corriedale sheep. Breeding for colour has also
been interesting and now we have some very nice black and grey Finns.



As a passionate spinner and knitter myself I am very proud of our products and
offer a 100% money back or exchange guarantee if for some reason you are not
happy with your purchase.



At Bendigo Sheep and wool show in 2022 we achieved excellent results with our
fleeces. We entered 3 fleece for 2 1sts & a 2nd. Our 2 coloured fleece won first
and second with the first also winning "best handcraft fleece". Our white fleece
won it's section in the Commercial Crossbred.





At Bendigo 2023 we again won our commercial cross bred section. We entered 3
fleece in the Black and Coloured competition and won 3 firsts. We also won the
John French Memorial award for the best handcraft fleece. That's 2 years in a
row. We are very proud of our coloured fleece.

We are in the process of having some black wool spun into yarn which will appear
on the shop soon. Also nice fresh fleece from 2023 shearing.
