Peace Hill Farm

Peace Hill Farm, Leicester longwools, Charles City, VA, serves Charles City County and the Richmond region near Richmond. Susan Bauer has raised Leicester longwool sheep for several years and follows industry recommended health screening while keeping detailed breeding records to support genetic soundness. Flocks live on rotational pasture with open-sided shelters, receive tailored feed blends, and lambs are socialized daily to encourage confidence.

The farm relies on pasture-based principles and gentle handling to produce sheep noted for calm temperaments and robust health. Their Leicester longwool fleece is valued for its length, luster, and softness, making it a choice fiber for handspinners. Older ewes mentor new lambs, reinforcing herd social bonds and easing transitions to new owners or small-scale settings. Routine hoof trimming, vaccinations, and parasite management follow scheduled guidelines to support ongoing flock vitality. As a family-run operation, Peace Hill Farm balances traditional farmstead care with thoughtful nutrition and shelter management year-round.
