About Us
Angel Crossing Farm is located in Damascus,
Maryland in the rolling hills of Northern Montgomery
County and is owned and operated by Patty and Victor
Loun. We are breeders of registered Cormo Sheep.
Cormo sheep are a cross of Superfine Saxon Merinos
and Corriedale breeds that originated in Tasmania,
Australia. Cormo sheep produce fine wool that is
white, and soft with a long staple length. Cormo fleece
and Cormo roving are excellent for hand spinning.
Cormo yarn is a wonderful knitting or weaving yarn for
next-to-the-skin type garments. Our breeding stock
were carefully selected to enhance the highest quality
Cormo Sheep characteristics and our breeding
practices support the continuation of these fine
qualities.

Despite the rainy weekend we had a great year at
MSWF. Our 2008 Montgomery County Fair Supreme
champion Ewe won 2nd place in the Fleece Show for
Cormo Breed! Ellie is pictured on our Fair News page.
Montgomery County Fair August 2010
Another great year. Although we didn't have much
competition, we did quite well again this year. Grand
Champion yearling ram, Grand Champion late junior ewe
lamb. The judge was very impressed with Ben's
incredibly white and crimpy fleece. I secretly think he
wanted to give us Supreme Champion! The sheep we
took enjoyed the crowds, attention and walks.
In the fleece contest we received 1st in class, Champion
and Grand Champion for Snowman's fleece. This fleece
is still for sale on the fleece page.

association, the Cormo Breeders Coalition, Inc. Our goal
is to increase our opportunities to buy and sell registered
