Welcome

Grandview Polypay is located west of Marshall in southwestern Minnesota. It all started when we purchased our farm – weeds and all. Taking someone’s advice “sheep will eat anything” we purchased 50-bred ewes. They cleaned up the place and we were hooked. Raising sheep offers a high quality of life that reflects our personal values and family farm goals. For over 25 years we have been in the sheep industry.

Small Flock - Big Results

Grandview Polypay

We offer top quality breeding stock and market lambs. As a member of the Pipestone Lamb and Wool Program we've been involved in the leading edge of production management in the sheep industry.  The maternal traits of our flock, based on barn records, demonstrates that our ewes will breed in the first heat, carry condition, and lamb out of season.  If you are interested in improving production in your flock, we can help.

    Just after sneaking back to finish my Animal Science test, I packed up for the long haul home for the weekend with some stops along the way.

    First stop: Springfield FFA!
    My good friend from camp, and cabin roomate, Kelly invited me to some to their chapter meeting and 2nd annual Wii Tournament. Yes. Wii Tournament. Traffic kept me away from making the short meeting, but it didn't keep me away from total domination...
