Badger Lane Acres, LLC

Badger Lane Acres, LLC breeds Leicester longwool sheep in Allenton, WI, in southeastern Wisconsin near Milwaukee. Elizabeth Kuss follows guidelines from national sheep associations, maintaining detailed genetic records, conducting regular health screenings, and ensuring routine vaccinations and hoof care for each animal. The flock grazes on nutrient rich, rotational pastures and retreats to well ventilated barns with deep bedding during colder months to support natural behaviors.

Lambs are gently introduced to caregivers and learn basic farm routines as they grow, which fosters calm temperaments and reinforces strong maternal bonds. The farm hosts barn tours for fiber enthusiasts during shearing season, offering close views of fleece quality and sustainable fiber production without commercial pressure. Historic barns, tree lined paddocks, and shaded run ins reflect a blend of traditional livestock raising and attentive daily oversight, ensuring a healthy environment year round. While small in scale, the operation contributes wool staples to local weavers and participates in county agricultural fairs to share knowledge about sustainable sheep farming.
