JW Simms-Reisner

JW Simms-Reisner raises Cheviot sheep in Albion, Illinois, in Southern Illinois near St. Louis. JW Simms-Reisner has been breeding Cheviots for several years and maintains a small flock registered through leading sheep associations, with routine health screenings for foot rot, parasites, and common ovine illnesses.

The flock grazes on open pastures away from traffic and is brought into comfortable barn housing during colder months. The breeder and family handle the sheep daily, helping lambs acclimate to visitors and other farm animals. Rotational grazing on nutrient-rich grasslands encourages natural foraging behavior and supports sustainable land management.

The farm’s emphasis on balanced nutrition, including clover and alfalfa, contributes to strong bone development and dense fleece. This careful approach has led to steady demand from local fiber artists and conservation projects, without sacrificing the flock’s well-being. JW Simms-Reisner values transparency, sharing pedigrees and lambing records with interested neighbors to foster trust within the local agricultural community.
