The Berryhill Farm

The Berryhill Farm, Leicester longwool sheep, Pine Island, MN, in Southeastern Minnesota near Rochester, offers sound breeding stock. The Berryhill Farm maintains membership in national sheep associations and adheres to standard health screenings, parasite checks and hoof inspections for its flock. Lambs are raised on well-managed pastures with rotational grazing and introduced to routine handling and barn shelter to develop calm temperaments and seasonal comfort.

Owner David Berryhill balances nutrition with local forage and supplemental feeds, refines selection for structural soundness and consistent wool yield over time. Housing includes ventilated barns with ample bedding and secure fencing to support animal welfare throughout the year. Local fiber artists often remark on the fleece’s uniform staple length, natural luster and durability in handspun projects. The farm shares best practices with local fiber groups through occasional workshops and contributes insights to regional sheepcare discussions.
