Hedge Haven Farm

Hedge Haven Farm, Shetland sheep, Kincaid, KS in Anderson County near Topeka. Owned by Jean Johns, this family-run operation follows national sheep association guidelines and performs regular health screenings, including fecal egg counts and hoof inspections. The flock grazes rotationally on mixed pastures, with access to a ventilated barn outfitted with straw bedding and insulated loafing shelters to support natural behaviors and early socialization.

Each lamb receives daily gentle handling from birth to encourage calm temperaments and a wool fleece prized for its fine crimp and softness. Monthly weight checks and careful parasite management help maintain both flock health and sustainable land use. Jean’s approach to sheep husbandry includes composting manure to enrich pasture soil and preserving native grass stands for wildlife habitat. Over time, the farm’s consistent care routine and measured growth have fostered strong relationships with nearby fiber artists and fellow breeders.
