Crossroads Farm

Crossroads Farm is a Shetland sheep breeder in Greenville, MI, in Montcalm County and the Grand Rapids area. It follows American Shetland Sheepbreeders Association standards, maintains detailed breeding records and conducts regular health testing on every flock member. Lambs are raised on pasture with daily handling to develop gentle temperaments, and adult sheep rotate through paddocks secured with sturdy fencing to ensure optimal grazing and comfort. A well-ventilated barn provides shelter during Michigan winters, while rotational grazing promotes pasture health and biodiversity.
