Wool & Feather Farm

Wool & Feather Farm is a breeder of Leicester longwool sheep in Colfax, WI, serving Dunn County and the Chippewa Valley near Eau Claire. It has bred these sheep for over a decade under membership in state sheep growers’ associations and follows recommended health screening protocols.

The flock grazes on rotational pastures with shelter barns that allow gentle social interaction day and night. Seasonal shearing and hoof trimming are part of regular husbandry that Melissa Todd oversees with a focus on stress-free handling. Several animals from recent lambings have shown strong wool yield and even temperament valued by fiber artists. The farm’s long-term commitment to pasture improvement and gentle foundation stock has earned consistent praise for their lamb quality and fleece resilience. One local fiber artisan noted that lambs arrive well-adjusted and fleeces wash clean with minimal prep. With regular handling from birth, these sheep adapt well to varied climates and show reliable maternal instincts.
