Lilac Hill

Lilac Hill, Shetland sheep, Burlington, WI, in southeastern Wisconsin near Milwaukee, is run by Lynne and Thomas Deshler. They have been active in the sheep breeding community for over a decade and follow guidelines from recognized sheep associations with routine health testing and parasite management. Their flock grazes on open pastures at W1288 Honey Creek Road and benefits from regular handling to foster calm temperaments.

A softly lit barn provides shelter in winter and a quiet space for the flock to rest. Each spring lambing season is overseen with close monitoring and detailed records that trace pedigrees and health history. The Deshlers focus on wool quality and sustainable grazing practices that support land health. Many local fiber artists note the fine fleece and gentle nature of the lambs. Their approach emphasizes respectful animal care and encourages stable social groups within the flock.
