We are located about 20 minutes south of Joliet, just a few minutes off I-55.
Little Country Acres is home to a colorful flock of registered Shetland sheep. Our Shetland flock is a little different than most, in that we are spearheading an effort to preserve rare polled rams. You are invited to visit our "polled pages", and learn more about our conservation efforts.
The Shetland is a delightful little wool sheep that is a pleasure to maintain and easy to raise. They are perfect for smaller properties and for the novice shepherd.
The Shetland breed offers a variety of lovely fleece for handspinning, felting, and weaving. We perform annual micron testing on most of our flock.
Their meat is tender and mild. They can be very affectionate and make wonderful pets for someone who just wants a few pet sheep.
Our humanely raised flock is enrolled in the mandatory scrapie program.
Little Country Acres offers carefully evaluated, purebred breeding stock. We occasionally have pet quality sheep or raw fleece available. Please visit our sale pages see what we currently have to offer.
