Primrose Hill Farm

Primrose Hill Farm, Shetland sheep, Shelbyville, KY, Shelby County in the Bluegrass region near Louisville. Rachael Schumer has been raising registered Shetland sheep on the land for more than ten years with routine veterinary care, fecal testing, and tailored parasite management. The flock grazes on rotational pastures enriched by seasonal cover crops and is handled daily to encourage calm, friendly behavior among lambs and breeders.

Wool quality is a defining focus, with fleeces graded annually by local judges and prized for their softness, crimp, and luster. All breeding stock comes from traceable lines and undergoes genetic testing to support sustainable herd health, while lambing pens are cleaned daily to ensure comfort and hygiene. Pasture management practices emphasize soil health and biodiversity, benefiting both the sheep and surrounding wildlife habitats. Customers note the gentle temperament and sturdy constitution of the sheep in their feedback, appreciating the farm’s consistency and transparency.
