Tinker Ridge Farm

Tinker Ridge Farm, Shetland sheep, Trion, GA sits in northwest Georgia near Chattanooga. Tinker Ridge Farm is run by Amanda Lail, who has been breeding Shetland sheep for several years and adheres to breed association guidelines with regular health screening. Animals graze on open pasture and receive daily handling to promote calm temperaments and ease of care.

The farm’s flock reflects a focus on hardy genetics with soft fleece, and several sheep have been shown at regional fiber festivals. Care is centered on natural forage supplemented with mineral blocks, and lambs are socialized alongside the flock to ensure friendly interactions. Set on rolling hills, the farm provides shelter in renovated barns equipped with fresh bedding. Many visitors comment on the approachable nature of the flock, a result of patient handling and daily exposure to family activities. Membership in the American Shetland Sheepbreeders Association supports ongoing education and breed preservation.
