Alaska's Harvest
Alaska's Harvest Shetland sheep, Palmer, Alaska, serve smallholders and fiber artists in the Matanuska Valley near Anchorage. Collette Hand has been breeding these hardy sheep for over a decade, maintaining membership in the American Shetland Sheepbreeders Association and following recommended health testing for parasite resistance and hoof care.
Lambs grow up on pasture-rich fields with access to shelter and daily handling, which helps develop calm temperaments and strong flock bonds. The flock is part of a diversified homestead that values rotational grazing, soil health, and natural fiber production. Several ewes and rams have earned championship ribbons at the Alaska State Fair, reflecting the careful selection for wool quality and durability.
In winter months, the flock receives supplementary hay feeding and enjoys barn social time to keep sheep accustomed to handling in all seasons. Careful record-keeping tracks lineage, health milestones, and wool characteristics across generations.
