Draves Farm

Draves Farm, Teeswater sheep, Midland, MI, is located in Midland County and the Great Lakes Bay Region near Saginaw. The farm has been raising Teeswater sheep for several seasons, maintaining attention to genetic health, participating in voluntary screening programs, and supporting guidelines of national sheep breeder associations. Animals live on pasture-based paddocks with regular handling to promote gentle temperaments and resilience.

Mary F. Draves emphasizes natural fiber production and sustainable pasture management, providing lambs with socialization alongside other farmstock and individual care in a family-owned setting. The farm’s focus on staple length and fleece strength has earned positive remarks from local fiber artisans who appreciate the consistency and warmth of the wool.

Each spring, lambs are born on the farmstead and receive early human contact to foster calm handling. Rotational grazing supports soil health and biodiversity across the farm’s rolling pastures year-round.
