Bield Farm

Bield Farm Shetland sheep in Clinton Corners, NY, serve Dutchess County and the Hudson Valley near Poughkeepsie. The Juerss and Anne Scully have maintained a registered flock for over a decade and follow recommended health screening for genetic conditions.

They participate in regional breed evaluations and have placed consistently in local livestock shows, reflecting their attention to breed standards. Their sheep graze on rotational pastures, receive daily interaction to encourage gentle temperaments, and shelter in a ventilated barn during colder months. A diet of local hay and tailored mineral supplements is adjusted seasonally to support both flock health and wool quality.

Traditional hand-shearing techniques uphold sustainable wool production valued by nearby artisans. The farm’s emphasis on low-stress handling and minimal flock sizes promotes strong herd bonds and reliable lineage tracking. Many visitors note the friendly nature of the sheep and the farm’s welcoming atmosphere during seasonal open days.
