Our Story

JJ Ventures LLC is a Family- Friendly  Livestock Breeder of  St. Croix Hair Sheep  located in central Mississippi on a 60 acre farm site, my husband Jeff and I built with the help of family and friends. Originally moving to this site to be closer to  my parents in their later years and to have more room for our horses. Both loving animals and gardening this has been a wonderful adventure for us, our children and grandchildren.  Jeff and I  began our sheep program in 2019 with 6 St. Croix hair sheep. Our plan has been to raise lambs for our own use and good breeding stock for customers in the future.  Our St. Croix hair sheep are registered with the St. Croix hair Sheep International Association.  the St. Croix are listed on livestockconseracny.org  as a heritage breed on their conservation priority list . The St. Croix are noted as on the watch list with the livestock conservancy. You can discover more about this distinction on their website

About Our Farm

Professional Local Livestock Breeder

JJ Ventures LLC is a local family-run Livestock Breeder of St. Croix Hair Sheep. 

My husband and myself both retired from full time employment and  wanted to make good use of our time and land.  Months of researching what livestock would be most cost effective, beneficial, and easy to handle led us to consider sheep for our farm.
   There are many different breeds of sheep, so many of them ! Much more research later, talking to any one we could, we decided that for us, St. Croix Hair Sheep would be the best. 
   We have worked very hard to improve our farm for our sheep and learn all we can about them and what is best. We are still learning, there is always something new.

2021 St. Croix Weanling Rams

This year, 2021, was a successful lambing year. We had 8 Registered St. Croix ram lambs . 2 of these lambs have been sold .We have at this time in July 2021, 4 weaned ram lambs available and 2 more will be available after they are weaned in August of this year. We are very happy with our young rams and feel certain they will make great future sires. They come with registration papers and genotyping.

St. Croix / Katahdin Crossbred stock.

We started raising some commercial stock and are developing that flock along with our St Croix flock. We found some very nice Katahdin ewes and are breeding them to our St. Croix Rams. The lambs from this crossing are very nice.Some of these rams have horns and some do not. Ewes will be retained for future breeding but the ram lambs will be sold. they are not registered stock.
