Angel Crossing Farm
Featuring Cormo Sheep and Wool
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.

Southeastern Animal and Fiber Festival
This year we took our products to SAFF.  Our booth was located in
the Sales Arena and our Cormo yarn and wool were a big hit.  In the
Fleece Show, Snowman's fleece was 1st place in the Fine White
Wool Contest.  Look for us next year October 21 to 23rd, 2011.

New Breed Association
This year we also joined the new Cormo breed association, the
Cormo Breeders Coalition, Inc.  Our goal is to increase our
opportunities to buy and sell registered sheep with known pedigrees.
