The IE Homestad

The IE Homestad, Shetland sheep in Mineola, TX, serves Wood County and the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Allison Igo-Edwards has bred Shetland sheep for over ten years, is a member of the American Shetland Sheepbreeders Association and maintains routine health testing for the flock. Their sheep graze on rotational pasture and enjoy daily handling, with lambs familiarized early through hands-on socialization.

Since its beginning as a backyard flock, the farm has grown into a family operation offering sheep suited to small-scale meat production and fiber arts projects. The sheep reside in well-ventilated barns during extreme weather and have access to mineral blocks and fresh water year-round. Many customers note the lambs’ calm disposition and fine fleece, expressing appreciation for the farm’s attention to humane care and sustainable practices. By integrating rotational grazing with seasonal breeding cycles, the farm emphasizes animal welfare and ecological balance.
