Gypsy Ranch

Gypsy Ranch, Shetland sheep, Silverlake, KS, operates in Shawnee County and northeastern Kansas near Topeka. Jodi Munns has raised the breed for several years, maintaining documented pedigrees and following breed association guidelines alongside biosecurity protocols and regular health screenings. Animals graze on rotational pasture with open barns offering shelter, and lambs remain under maternal care for early socialization. This program emphasizes natural behaviors, sustainable pasture management, rotational grazing, and low-stress handling to support overall flock well-being while complementing standard husbandry practices.

Lambing season runs from early spring, allowing lambs to thrive on fresh pasture before their first shearing. Gypsy Ranch focuses on fleece quality suitable for hand spinners and felting enthusiasts. The small-scale approach allows personalized attention to each animal and ensures gentle handling from birth. Their goal is to support small-scale shepherds by offering sheep with stable pedigrees and reliable fleece traits.
