Half Channer Croft

Half Channer Croft are experienced Shetland sheep breeders in Mt Airy, MD, Carroll County near Baltimore. They follow established breeding standards, maintain registration records and perform annual health tests to promote strong genetics in their flock. They keep records of hoof trimming, parasite control and lineage tracking to ensure each sheep meets breed criteria.

The sheep graze on organic rotational pastures with access to sheltered barns throughout the year, and lambs are handled early to foster a calm temperament. Their attention to fleece quality produces fine, well-locked wool appreciated by local fiber artists.

Visitors can see the sheep in open fields and witness daily care routines. Half Channer Croft also offers guidance on pasture management and breed selection to support emerging breeders. They host small-group visits by appointment and maintain breeding stock suitable for pasture-based projects that suit diverse farm settings.
