Howards Farm

Howards Farm raises Shetland sheep in Ford, WA, Stevens County and northeastern Washington near Spokane. Nathan Howard and Cindy Howard have years of experience breeding Shetland sheep and are active participants in regional sheep breeder associations. All breeding stock undergoes routine health screenings and receives regular veterinary care to maintain herd health. Their flock grazes on rotational pasture, and lambs are handled gently from birth to foster a calm temperament.

The sheep have access to sturdy shelters and shaded paddocks, allowing them to roam freely while staying protected from the elements. Winter feeding includes hay sourced from nearby farms, ensuring a balanced diet during colder months. The farm’s breeding program emphasizes the preservation of fine fleece quality and the breed’s natural hardiness in colder climates. Nathan and Cindy tailor their husbandry to each animal’s needs, creating a setting where sheep thrive through seasonal changes.
