Tyler and Shelby

When Tyler (my son & only child) and Shelby announced their engagement to me, I was so happy!!! They just seem to fit, and Shelby is such a lovely young lady and we adore her. Tyler is happy, which is all I've ever wanted for him. So now we are frantically trying to prepare for a wedding at our farm on October 31st (OF THIS YEAR!!!!) and enjoying watching Shelby be so excited about it all.

This photo was taken by one of my best friends, along with so many other great photos that were taken that evening, some serious and some pretty silly.

I finally get my daughter........I'm a happy mom.

Life is quite simply........grand!!

He who angers you, controls you.

And my favorite.......You can't control what others say or do, but you can control your reaction.

About us

We live close to the IL/WI border, almost perfectly centered in the state. Our farm is 4 miles west of Monroe, WI and tucked back off the main road in a peaceful little valley.

We are home to a flock of Purebred Shetland sheep, 1 alpacas, 2 llamas, 3 horses, a flock of laying hens, a couple Maremma guardian dogs, our house dog, Tess and our 2 house cats.

We strive to raise all our animals using as little chemical input as we can manage, and part of our goal for the herd is to breed towards parasite resistance. All of our animals are treated with respect, kindness and love, and are free to graze and roam our pastures. Our main focus is on fiber animals, but horses are my first love, so we do a lot of trail riding as well.

Having a connection with the food, fiber and meat we raise is something that holds great value for my husband and myself, as well as making sure that the animals in our care are treated with kindness no matter where their journey may lead.

My focus for my Shetlands is to raise, soft, silky, fine-fleeced animals without disregarding conformation, mothering ability, hardiness and temperament. Our focus is polled, fine fleeced Registered Purebred Shetland sheep. But we also have a few crossbred sheep and pet or fiber sheep for sale.

I do sell some of my fiber, roving and yarn and have a limited number of Shetland pelts for sale. I am an avid knitter, and have just recently begun to spin and now addicted to that as well. Life is quite simply.......perfect!
