Harris Shetland Sheep

Harris Shetland Sheep is a Shetland sheep breeder in Millarville, AB, in Foothills County near Calgary. Marika Harris follows Canadian Sheep Breeders Association guidelines and conducts regular health screenings to ensure flock vitality. The flock grazes on mixed pastures with daily supervision and gentle handling to support socialization and sound footing. Breeding goals prioritize hardy lambs with strong mothering instincts to support flock resilience.

During colder months the sheep shelter in a well-ventilated barn with ample bedding. Harris Shetland Sheep places emphasis on fiber quality with a focus on soft undercoats and consistent staple lengths. Owners appreciate the approachable nature of the animals and the farm’s decades-long commitment to responsible husbandry, and all lambs are raised alongside adult sheep to encourage natural behavior patterns. Feedback points to consistent temperament and fleeces with minimal guard hair, reflecting attentive breeding decisions.
