Solomon Creek Farm

Solomon Creek Farm is a Shetland sheep breeder in Syracuse, Indiana, in Kosciusko County near Fort Wayne. The farm follows American Sheep Industry Association guidelines and performs annual health screenings on ewes and rams, maintains detailed flock records, and schedules yearly breeding soundness evaluations by a local veterinarian.

Their sheep graze on well-managed pastures with access to barn shelter, and lambs are introduced to daily handling to support calm temperaments. Miller and Keith draw on extensive small-farm experience to guide breeding decisions. The emphasis on pasture-based practices supports soil health and produces wool appreciated by local fiber artists.

Lambing takes place in climate-controlled pens on-site, with temperature monitoring to ensure stable conditions for newborns. Each sheep receives seasonal hoof trimming and a balanced mineral supplement tailored to forages common in northern Indiana. Shearing is performed on-farm, and fleeces are skirted and graded according to established wool standards.
