Sweet Brook Farm

Sweet Brook Farm raises Soay sheep in Kansas City, MO, western Missouri near Overland Park. Michael Owens has spent more than a decade breeding these hardy sheep and maintains registrations through national sheep associations. All of the flock undergo regular health testing, and lambs are reared outdoors on lush pasture with daily handling. The focus on low-stress management and careful selection supports strong maternal instincts and consistent lambing success.

As a heritage breed with small stature, Soay sheep at Sweet Brook Farm fit well in conservation flocks and fiber projects. Their fleece produces soft, springy yarn appreciated by handspinners and artisans. Living on a family-run homestead passed down through generations, the sheep enjoy spacious fields and a well-ventilated barn. Visitors often note the animals’ calm nature and friendly interactions, reflecting a hands-on approach to socialization and guidance for new owners.
