Shalom Farms LLC

Shalom Farms LLC, American Blackbelly sheep, Lincoln, NE, is located in Lancaster County and the Platte River Valley near Omaha. They have been raising these sheep with attention to breed standards and animal welfare, following guidelines from regional sheep associations. They participate in registry programs and conduct regular health screenings through certified veterinarians. Their sheep graze on managed pastures and have daily access to a sheltered barnyard where lambs are socialized around family dogs and children.

The small-scale farm follows rotational grazing and seasonal balanced nutrition to support growth and temperament. The breeders focus on selecting hardy ewes and rams that exhibit strong maternal instincts and uniform fleece color. Lambs are introduced to different forage types early to encourage robust digestive health and resilience. A local shepherd noted their gentle flock and careful handling, reflecting a hands-on approach developed through seasons of stewardship.
