Lake Effect Farm

Lake Effect Farm is a Shetland sheep breeder in White Cloud, MI, serving West Michigan near Grand Rapids. Clinton Mason and Tiffany Mason have been raising Shetland sheep for several years, participating in breed associations and keeping detailed health records for every animal.

Its flock is pasture-raised on rolling fields with shelter access and enjoys daily checking, gentle handling and early socialization to develop calm temperaments. The farm follows rotational grazing practices that support soil health and provide clean forage throughout the season. All lambs receive early vaccinations and regular wellness exams by a licensed veterinarian.

It aims for high-quality wool production, with fiber that suits spinning and weaving needs for both hobbyists and small-scale mills. Visitors often note the sheep’s friendly nature and the family’s open approach to sharing knowledge about sustainable sheep husbandry. The Masons manage the land to provide shade trees and windbreaks for animal comfort year-round.
