Red Hill Pond Farm

Red Hill Pond Farm raises Shetland sheep in Ctr. Sandwich, NH, in Carroll County and the Lakes Region near Concord. Emma Bickford follows Shetland sheep registry guidelines and collaborates with local veterinarians for routine health screenings, hoof trimming and parasite control.

The flock grazes on rotational pastures edged by woodlands, and lambs are handled daily from birth to foster calm, friendly temperaments. Sheep return each evening to renovated barns with ample ventilation, nesting areas and fresh bedding, ensuring comfort and preventing common ailments. The farm shares its knowledge at seasonal agricultural fairs, where visitors often comment on the breed’s fine fleece density and adaptable nature in varying climates.

Breeding stock are selected for structure, fleece consistency and temperament, making them well suited for fiber artists and small homesteads seeking manageable, resilient animals. Red Hill Pond Farm also contributes to heritage breed preservation, helping to maintain genetic diversity among Shetland sheep.
