Loertscher Farm

Loertscher Farm, Shetland sheep, Shelton, WA, serves Mason County and the Puget Sound region near Tacoma. Katrinka Hibler and Christina Wellman have been raising Shetland sheep for many years with a focus on genetic health, routine scrapie testing, and adherence to established breed standards. Their flock grazes on rotational pastures complemented by regular handling to support early socialization and ease of management. Housing in well-ventilated barns protects lambs through wet winters while pasture shelters offer shade in summer months.

The farm supports sustainable practices inherited from generations of livestock stewardship. One review highlights the flock’s gentle nature and strong conformation, reflecting their careful breeding and attentive care. Annual hoof trims and parasite monitoring fit into their low-stress handling philosophy on pasture. The farm’s heritage spans decades of small-scale family stewardship, with each lamb traced to its parents for transparent lineage.
