Welcome to
Iron Diamond Farm and Ranch
- First Registered Painted Desert Flock in Ohio -


The baa's have quieted.  No longer heard in the barn.  The fleeting glimpse of  the Guardian Dogs as they race from one pasture corner to another -
forever on alert to protect the flock - is no more.

At Rafter SB/Iron Diamond Farm, life changes and we have had to say goodbye to our farm in Ohio. We had searched across the nation, bringing the best
genetics home. And now it is time to say goodbye.  While we still own stock, we no longer live and work and dream in Ohio. Our bloodlines continue from
Massachusetts to Texas and one day, maybe, one day, the baa's will be back.

Please enjoy the pictures of our sheep, past and present and our beloved guardians
