About Midwest Mini Sheep

Midwest Mini Sheep LLC is a veteran owned agricultural business based in Bellevue, Michigan. We specialize in an upbreeding program that crosses Ouessant sheep with Shetland and American Soay lines to develop high quality miniature sheep. Our website serves as a professional marketplace for our livestock and an educational resource for heritage breed management.

We specialize in the strategic upbreeding of heritage sheep. By crossing the small and hardy Ouessant breed with our Shetland and American Soay lines, we are refining a miniature sheep phenotype that is well suited for modern small scale farms. This data driven approach ensures that our sheep maintain the primitive traits that make these breeds so resilient. Research indicates that maintaining genetic diversity through thoughtful crossing is essential for the vitality of heritage livestock populations.
