J Susan Traglia

J Susan Traglia raises Cheviot sheep on rolling fields in Sedalia, Missouri, in central Missouri near Kansas City. Her breeding program follows registry guidelines, and each lamb and ewe undergoes routine health screenings from initial checkups through adulthood. The flock grazes on open pastures with seasonal rotations of diverse forage species and receives daily handling in barn and field to support calm temperaments. Seasonal parasite management, strategic winter shelter, and balanced nutrition plans support flock health through changing weather and grazing cycles.

Traglia draws on family traditions of sustainable grazing, incorporating rotational pasture designs that encourage soil health while maintaining flock resilience and wool quality. Residents in the region praise the flock’s hardy constitution, noting low maintenance requirements and consistent lambing outcomes that reflect attentive care. The wool is valued locally by fiber artists and artisans for its fine texture, natural luster, and adaptability to a range of yarn and fabric projects. Reviewers note clear communication and a genuine passion for the breed that shines through every stage of the breeding process.
