Flying 8 Farm

Flying 8 Farm, Shetland sheep breeder in Longmont, Colorado, is located in Boulder County and the Front Range near Denver. Cassidy Johnson has bred Shetland sheep for several years and keeps the flock registered with recognized breed associations to ensure integrity and traceability.

The sheep graze on rotational pastures, benefit from routine veterinary care and parasite management, and are handled regularly to encourage calm, friendly interactions. Herding and fiber quality guide breeding decisions, resulting in animals prized for soft fleece and gentle temperament. Sustainable land management and seasonal lambing cycles reflect the farm’s commitment to healthful environments for both animals and grasslands.

Lambs are born in well-ventilated barns and move to pasture within days, which promotes early social bonds and healthy growth. Each spring the flock is hand-sheared to maintain fleece quality and ensure animal comfort. A loyal community of fiber artists and smallholders appreciates the consistent quality across generations.
