Monadnock Menagerie Farm

Monadnock Menagerie Farm, Leicester longwool sheep, Marlborough, NH, in Cheshire County and the Monadnock Region near Keene. Jeannette Westover has established the farm’s flock over many years with attention to genetic diversity and detailed records of both lineage and fleece characteristics. Annual veterinary checkups and routine parasite management protocols help ensure overall health and support strong growth in both lambs and adult sheep.

They raise lambs on rotational pasture with access to sheltered barns during cold weather. Their breeding program emphasizes wool staple length and resilience in New England’s northern climates. The farm’s modest flock size allows for individualized care and early socialization with gentle handling. Visitors to seasonal local fiber gatherings often comment on the soft density of these fleeces and the calm temperament of the sheep. Community shearers and fiber artists appreciate the uniform quality of Leicester longwool fiber produced here.
