What is the National CVM Conservancy?
The National CVM Conservancy, Inc. (NCC) is a group of concerned breeders, individuals, and corporations who care about the future of the most critically endangered breed of sheep in the United States today.
With purebred registrations totaling less than approximately 500 individuals, it is imperative that we take this opportunity to be good stewards of a unique and deserving national treasure.
CVM/Romeldales are a fiber artists dream come true. Wonderful fiber with next-to-the-skin softness that comes in nature’s bounty of colors. They will never bore you with their colors and patterns. The breed’s two most endearing qualities are non-fading wool that gets softer with age, and color that doesn't fade, only gets darker over time. CVM/Romeldales are easy to handle, great mothers, and hardy to most environments….a delightful asset to any farm.
Please join us in sharing an exciting and rewarding journey protecting this breed. Any of the breeders listed on the breeders page will be happy to talk to you and share how satisfying it is to be a valued steward of the CVM/Romeldale breed. Your support and participation at any level will help secure this breeds future.
You don’t have to own sheep to join us…..just a kind heart.
"...when the last individual
of a race of living things
breathes no more,
another Heaven
and another
Earth must pass
before such a
one can be again."
