Aamilet Family Farm

Aamilet Family Farm is home to Shetland sheep in Lorena, TX, serving Central Texas near Waco. Paula Hoover brings more than a decade of experience raising these small-frame sheep, and the farm participates in national breed registry programs with routine health testing. The flock grazes on rotation through clover-rich pastures and lambs are handled by family members from the first week to encourage socialization.

Shelter includes ventilated barns in winter and sturdy run-in sheds in summer, allowing sheep to adjust to seasonal changes. Daily walks through the fields and gentle handling help maintain a calm temperament, making the fleece easier to work with. Each spring lambing season brings hands-on learning for visitors, and local schools often schedule farm tours to observe early lamb care. Meticulous record keeping tracks genetic lines for sustainable breeding and fiber quality goals, reflecting the farm’s commitment to long-term flock health.
