Firebrand Farm

Firebrand Farm, Shetland sheep in House Springs, MO, serves Jefferson County and the Ozarks near St. Louis. Katie Klapp has bred Shetland sheep for over a decade and follows industry registry guidelines with routine veterinary checkups and genetic screening to support flock health. Firebrand Farm holds membership in the Shetland Sheep Association of America and participates in regional breeding programs that emphasize genetic diversity.

Lambs graze on open pasture and receive daily handling to foster a calm temperament and strong social bonds. Each spring lambing season is managed with hands-on support and careful monitoring to ensure early health and vigor. The farm’s rolling fields and well-ventilated barns provide year-round shelter and seasonal grazing rotations. The breed’s fine fleece yields soft wool prized by local spinners and fiber artists, and reviewers note the farm’s dedication to natural husbandry as a defining aspect of its program.
