Cade Spilde

Cade Spilde, Cheviot sheep breeder in Stoughton, WI, is based in Dane County in southern Wisconsin near Madison. With over fifteen years of experience, he is a member of the American Cheviot Sheep Society and performs annual health screenings on his flock.

His sheep graze on rotational pastures supplemented with hay from locally grown grasses, supporting strong hooves and natural foraging behaviors. Lambs are handled daily to build calm temperaments and acclimated to light exercise alongside the resident farm dogs. Several of his Cheviots have placed for producer and performance awards at regional fairs, reflecting consistent standards of conformation and fleece quality.

The farm operates on a historic homestead that has supported livestock for three generations, highlighting a deep connection to local agriculture. Cade emphasizes clear pedigrees and balanced lambing intervals to suit hobby farmers and educational settings. Careful record keeping ensures each lamb’s background and health history are documented from birth.
