Junior Member is a breeder of Leicester longwool sheep in Hillsdale, MI, Southeastern Michigan near Ann Arbor. Sarah Sanders has been raising Leicester longwool sheep for several years, follows breed association guidelines for routine health screening and soil-friendly pasture management and participates in local fiber workshops. The flock grazes on mixed fields with access to ventilated barns during winter and experiences early handling to promote calm temperaments.

Each lamb grows on pasture managed with rotational grazing to support soil and animal health. Families appreciate the breed’s hardy wool and gentle nature for small-scale fiber projects.

Wool is measured for fiber fineness and processed on-site with minimal handling to preserve natural crimp and luster. Customers note consistent fleece weight and clean staple length across each harvest, and the farm sits amid gently rolling fields offering a serene setting for the flock.
