Sheltered Shetlands
Sheltered Shetlands is a dedicated Shetland sheep breeder based in Bark River, Michigan, serving the Upper Peninsula near Marquette. Founded by Ricky LaCasse, the farm maintains membership in national sheep associations and follows recommended health tests to ensure flock well-being. Lambs are raised on rotational pasture with daily handling to promote docile temperaments, and they have access to shelter during harsh weather.
As a steward of heritage breeds, Sheltered Shetlands focuses on pasture-based systems and sustainable practices that support strong genetics and fiber quality. The flock includes a variety of fleece colors prized by fiber artists, reflecting a commitment to both tradition and versatility in small-scale sheep farming.
Weekly hoof trimming and seasonal vaccinations are part of routine care, ensuring each animal thrives through every season. Visitors can observe daily chores and learn about wool processing in an intimate farm setting.
