SHEEP

Our goal is to produce show quality animals with show quality fleeces.  Shetland sheep are a heritage breed listed as "recovering" with the Livestock Conservancy's Priority List.  We are proud members of the North American Shetland Sheepbreeders Association.  In the summer of 2022 we will begin offering fiber products and fleeces!  We had the exciting opportunity to purchase some Shetland Sheep semen from the United Kingdom in 2022!  While we might not have had a successful AI in 2022, but we will be trying again in the fall of 2023!

Yearling Ewe Shetland - Honorable Mention

Gretchen + Hollister

These two are our education animals.  Gretchen is the white lamb and Hollister is the black lamb (wether).  These two are Shetland/Babydoll crosses born in February of 2020.  They will be used to teach about genetics and how different traits are passed down such as color and horned/polled.

You can meet these two during one of our Shearing the Experiences or during a farm tour!
