About Sirola Sheep Farm

Nestled in the rolling landscapes of Tohmajärvi, eastern Finland, Sirola Sheep Farm is a family-run farm with roots reaching back to the 1960s. For more than three decades, we have been devoted to breeding pure Oxford Down sheep – a passion built on experience, trust, and respect for the breed.

Our breeding philosophy combines careful genetic selection, hands-on experience, and deep knowledge of the Oxford Down's unique qualities. We focus on strong conformation, calm and friendly temperament, and excellent maternal ability – animals that thrive naturally in Nordic conditions without losing the classic Oxford Down character.

Each lamb born at Sirola carries forward decades of breeding work and dedication. Our goal is to provide reliable, high-quality breeding stock for flocks in Finland and beyond – sheep that reflect both tradition and progress, raised with care for their wellbeing and respect for nature.

Certified breeding stock

At Sirola Sheep Farm, we breed pure Oxford Down sheep in the clean northern conditions of Finland – one of the few countries in the world free from major sheep diseases. Our animals are raised with care, in a healthy environment that supports strong genetics and natural resilience.

With decades of experience and successful export projects, we take pride in providing robust, well-tempered breeding stock that meets the highest health and quality standards.

Healthy origins – proven genetics – from Finland to the world
