Shooting Star Acres

Shooting Star Acres We are a small family farm in Lexington, Virginia in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley. This first group of lambs have some amazing markings and fleece.

We raise Shetland sheep and are participating in the breed-up program to bring Valais Blacknose sheep to the US. We also raise free ranging chickens for both eggs and meat, they can be found around the farm doing what chickens do best. Our most recent project has involved AI to bring new bloodlines for Shetland Sheep to the US from the UK.

Dad made me get up early to check the fence after storms last night.

Big happenings on the farm. We received a grant to exclude our creek from the livestock. We are adding pasture fencing and a new livestock well to help with management and rotational grazing. Thanks for all the assistance to the staff at our local SWCD.

So this year we went with the creep feed from Kalmbach Feeds, Inc. With our crazy cold, then really hot, then really wet weather, we wanted to help our lambs grow and thrive. The results are amazing. No health issues and they are growing great along with being on pasture.
