Windswept Farms

Windswept Farms raises Shetland sheep in Hopkins, MI, West Michigan near Grand Rapids. They adhere to recommended breed association standards, work with fellow breeders to refine breed traits, and maintain health screening for common genetic conditions.

Their sheep graze on rotational pastures and learn basic handling early to stay calm around visitors. Raised in a family run setting, each lamb receives attention from birth and is sheltered in a climate controlled barn during harsh weather, with shaded shelters available in summer. Selection focuses on balanced conformation and natural resistance to local parasites.

Many of their flocks have shown strong fleece density and gentle temperaments, traits trusted by small farmers and fiber artists across the region. Owners often note the clear guidance provided for pasture management and flock integration. Detailed records accompany each lamb, outlining lineage, growth milestones, and wool quality assessments.
