Meredith Miear

Meredith Miear is a breeder of Leicester Longwool sheep in Christiansburg, VA, Montgomery County and New River Valley near Blacksburg. She has been raising Leicester Longwool sheep for several years and maintains registrations with national sheep associations to ensure breed standards and health testing. Animals graze on rotational pastures and receive daily handling to support gentle temperaments and sturdy health.

The farm’s emphasis on fiber quality reflects in fleece that is dense, lustrous and prized by local artisans. Lambs are introduced to barn accommodations at nightfall and grow up in a family-run environment alongside free-ranging chickens and garden vegetables. A recent review noted their calm sheep and consistent wool staples across seasons. Partnership with a local veterinarian and shearer ensures regular vaccinations, hoof care, and prompt veterinary attention. Meredith’s careful selection emphasizes sound conformation and consistent staple length for predictable spinning yields.
