Winterwind Farm

Winterwind Farm is a Shetland sheep breeder in Battle Lake, MN, Otter Tail County and the lakes country near Fargo. Cheryl Kersey has raised Shetland sheep for over a decade and follows recommended health-screening protocols, including regular veterinarian checks and genetic testing for common breed conditions. The flock lives on rotational pastures and spends each day grazing under attentive supervision to support strong bone structure and a calm temperament.

Lambs are gently handled from birth and introduced to a variety of environments, encouraging friendly behavior and adaptability. Winterwind Farm has a heritage timber barn that provides shelter through all seasons and offers clean bedding sourced from local straw. Many fiber crafters praise the gentle crimp and natural luster of the fleeces, noting consistent staple length and ease of spinning. Committed to heritage breed preservation, Winterwind Farm shares its experience with local fiber guilds and supports small-scale producers.
