Robert Schaefer

Robert Schaefer raises Cheviot sheep in Marshfield, WI, serving Wood County and central Wisconsin near Wausau. Schaefer has practiced small-scale shepherding for several years and follows national guidelines for flock health testing, including regular veterinary checkups and parasite control. The sheep graze on rotated pastures and return to well-ventilated barns stocked with fresh bedding, where they receive daily handling to support calm temperaments.

This flock is selected for uniform wool quality and maternal strength, traits valued by fiber growers and small homesteads. Raised on a family farm, they have year-round pasture access and fresh hay in winter, with shelters maintained for comfort. Breeding records are maintained meticulously to document lineage, health history and adaptation to varied climates.

Regular shearing and grooming help maintain fleece integrity and support animal comfort through seasonal changes. Owners note a calm demeanor in lambs handled daily, reflecting the attention given to socialization from early life.
