High Plains Heritage Farm

High Plains Heritage Farm, Leicester longwool sheep, Berthoud, CO, Larimer County and the Colorado Front Range near Fort Collins. High Plains Heritage Farm has been raising Leicester longwool sheep for several years and adheres to guidelines from regional sheep breeders associations, including routine health screenings for parasites and hoof care. Bethany Grosser emphasizes pasture-based husbandry, offering daily turnout on native grasslands and supervised lambing in a sheltered barn, with early handling to encourage gentle temperaments. The farm’s small flock design allows for individual attention during shearing and encourages natural wool growth patterns prized by hand spinners.

Their breeding goals focus on maintaining heritage genetics, pairing careful selection with record keeping to support consistent fiber quality. Visitors report that flock members are calm around newcomers and responsive during routine grooming and hoof trimming. As a single-owner operation rooted in sustainable practices, High Plains Heritage Farm offers a thoughtful approach to preserving a historic British breed in Colorado.
