Valley View Farm

Valley View Farm, Shetland sheep, Cheney, WA, is a small-scale breeder in Spokane County and Eastern Washington near Spokane.

The operation adheres to breed-standard guidelines and carries out routine health screenings in cooperation with national registry programs. Owner Janice Whitfield has nurtured each lamb through attentive feeding and monitoring from birth, following best practices for early socialization and disease prevention. Adult sheep graze on rotational pastures and retreat to a ventilated barn with fresh straw bedding, which helps maintain clean and dry living conditions year-round.

Breeding records are kept meticulously, tracking lineage and fleece characteristics to support informed selection by shepherds in the region. Clients often note the flock’s calm demeanor and uniform wool quality, traits valued by local handspinners and small-scale farmers in surrounding communities. Clear communication and transparent care notes provided by Janice reflect the farm’s enduring focus on animal welfare and practical husbandry on a landscape shaped by the surrounding wheat fields.
