Holly Ridge Farm

Holly Ridge Farm, Leicester longwools, Ellsworth, WI, are based in Pierce County and western Wisconsin near Minneapolis. They participate in national breed association programs and carry out annual health testing for parasite resistance and foot health.

The flock grazes on managed pastures with access to sheltered barns, and lambs are socialized from an early age to promote calm temperaments. As a conservation breeder, they focus on preserving genetic diversity and often consult with other small farms to share best practices. Many owners note their gentle disposition and adaptability to variable climates.

They maintain detailed records of individual lineages to support breed integrity and reliably track flock performance. Year-round pasture rotations and careful seasonal planning preserve forage quality and safeguard soil health. Local visitors often remark on the farm’s tranquil, quiet setting and the approachable nature of both sheep and handlers.
