Cheryl Michelle Scott

Cheryl Michelle Scott raises Leicester longwool sheep in Limerick, Maine, in Southern Maine near Portland. With over a decade of breeding experience, she maintains registrations with the American Leicester Longwool Breeders Association and performs routine health screening for her flock. Her sheep graze on rotational pastures and are socialized daily in a barn outfitted with straw bedding.

The farm, established on a former dairy homestead, features shelter that mirrors traditional meadowside huts to promote natural behaviors. Visitors often note the flock’s even temperaments and the dense, lustrous fleece prized by handspinners. She participates in local fiber festivals and has shared her stock with neighboring shepherds seeking hardy, productive animals. Her commitment to low-stress handling and balanced nutrition contributes to lamb survival rates above regional averages. Cheryl Michelle Scott also keeps detailed lineage records and offers mentoring for first-time shepherds interested in heritage breeds.
