Bryn Mawr

Bryn Mawr, Shetland sheep, Graysville, OH, serves Meigs County and the Appalachian region near Athens. Somerville and Danielle have spent more than ten years breeding small, hardy sheep, maintaining membership in the American Sheep Industry Association and following recommended health testing protocols. They offer guidance on sustainable wool processing and have planted diverse pasture grasses to support flock nutrition.

Their flock grazes on rotational pasture with access to a well-ventilated barn, and they place emphasis on daily handling to support gentle temperaments. Early socialization with children and other animals fosters calm, adaptable sheep suited to small farms or fiber projects.

Several lambs have placed in county fairs for fleece quality, reflecting the breeders’ focus on wool traits. Visitors often comment on the farm’s peaceful setting and the clear, respectful attention given to each animal. Their farm operates on a commitment to animal welfare and transparent breeding records, which many local fiber artists appreciate.
