Good Shepherd Farms

Good Shepherd Farms, shetland sheep in Andover, KS, is based in south-central Kansas near Wichita. Annette Powledge has cared for these small-framed sheep for over a decade, holds membership in the American Sheep Industry Association and follows a health protocol that includes regular veterinary exams and genetic screening.

Animals graze on diverse rotational pastures each season, move freely between open fields and protected shelters, and are gently introduced to handling routines for early socialization. The farm’s approach emphasizes natural fiber quality and outdoor living that mirrors traditional shepherding methods.

This family operation dates back three generations, and its reputation for producing wool with fine crimp and soft texture has earned steady recognition among regional wool artists. Visitors often comment on the sheep’s calm demeanor and the relaxed pace that reflects the farm’s values of care and sustainability. Its breeding selection focuses on strong maternal instincts and consistent fleece density, traits that appeal to both handspinners and small-scale ranchers.
