Woods Line

Woods Line Shetland sheep in McDonald, PA, in Washington County near Pittsburgh. Jennifer Nimmrichter has been breeding Shetland sheep for several years and participates in registry programs while following routine health-testing and nutritional protocols. As an active member of local agricultural groups, she stays informed on best practices for small-flock management.

The flock grazes on rotational pasture with access to secure barn shelters, promoting natural behaviors and sturdy growth through all seasons. Lambs are gently handled from birth to encourage calm temperaments and smooth transitions to grass feeding, supported by regular health checkups in collaboration with area veterinarians. Local fiber artists value the fleece for its softness and durability, reflecting careful husbandry and selective breeding. Woods Line’s approach balances traditional care and modern insights, resulting in resilient, friendly sheep suited for both fiber and family farms. At local fairs and community events the sheep have drawn praise for their friendly demeanors and quality fleeces.
