Windy View Farm

Windy View Farm raises Shetland sheep in Hickory, NC, within Catawba County and the foothills near Charlotte. Their flock undergoes routine veterinary checkups and health screenings to maintain strong bloodlines and ensure each animal’s well-being. All husbandry records are kept transparently and shared with buyers, providing confidence in breeding history and care practices.

The Rodatz family are committed to pasture-based care, offering spacious fields and shelters where sheep graze and receive daily socialization. Lambs learn gentle handling from an early age, resulting in calm temperaments suited for fiber production and homestead settings. Their breeding program emphasizes natural vigor and wool quality, producing fleece prized by handspinners. They combine traditional husbandry techniques with modern animal welfare standards, reflecting decades of experience in small-scale sheep farming. They host occasional on-farm workshops for fiber artists and shepherding enthusiasts, fostering a supportive local community around wool crafts.
