Brierfox Farm

Brierfox Farm breeds Shetland sheep on rolling pastures in Kingwood, WV, in Preston County and the Allegheny Highlands near Morgantown. Kari Elliott leads a small-scale operation registered with regional and national sheep associations and conducts routine health screenings including fecal egg counts for parasite resistance along with annual hoof trimming to promote structural soundness.

The flock grazes a carefully managed rotating pasture system, and lambs receive gentle daily handling and early socialization to foster calm temperaments. The farm traces its roots to a family homestead that values open record sharing and ethical breeding decisions. During winter months, animals shelter in a well-ventilated barn and benefit from custom mineral blends for strong bone development.

Brierfox wool features consistent staple length and crimp, appealing to local fiber artists and hand spinners. Visitors note the sheep’s gentle disposition and the farm’s welcoming atmosphere. Breeding records are provided to each new owner, ensuring transparency in lineage and health history.
