JV Steinlicht Farm

JV Steinlicht Farm is Shetland sheep breeder in Aberdeen, ID, serving Bingham County and the Snake River Plain near Pocatello. Owner Venessa Steinlicht has several years of experience raising Shetland sheep and follows recognized health screening protocols.

The flock grazes rotating pastures across gentle hills and lambs are handled daily to encourage calm temperaments, with sheltered barns and straw bedding for winter comfort. Annual assessments by an independent veterinarian inform body condition scoring, foot trimming, and parasite control to maintain flock health. Focusing on responsible stewardship, the farm provides mineral supplementation and social opportunities with family and farm dogs, allowing sheep to adapt to varied interactions.

Their wool is prized by local spinners and weavers for its consistent staple length and softness, reflecting the farm’s steady approach to breeding quality flockmates. Each spring lambing season unfolds in a quiet, low-stress setting where Venessa monitors births and ensures new lambs bond with their mothers before flock reintroduction.
