Corner Notch Farm LLC

Corner Notch Farm LLC breeds Shetland sheep in Durango, Colorado, serving La Plata County and the Four Corners near Albuquerque. Kelsey Reeder has worked with Shetland sheep for more than a decade, registering lambs through the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy and performing routine health testing for parasites and hoof care. The flock grazes on rotational pastures under natural forage, and lambs are handled daily to ensure calm temperaments.

Lambing season takes place in spring within a spacious barn outfitted with straw bedding, offering shelter from summer heat and winter storms. Many of its animals descend from bloodlines known for a fine, dense fleece that hand-spinners appreciate. Pastures are managed to support biodiversity and maintain soil health, with native grasses forming the bulk of the diet. Each lamb receives core vaccinations and identification tags shortly after birth, and fleeces undergo independent micron testing for consistency.
