Lesperance Farm

Lesperance Farm, Shetland sheep, New Boston, MI, is located on a family-run property in Southeastern Michigan near Detroit. Stephanie Lesperance has welcomed Shetland sheep for over a decade and follows recognized breed standards with routine health screenings. She maintains detailed records of lineage and health, including annual screenings for common hereditary conditions.
