What do Highland cows and Icelandic sheep have in common - besides being ridiculously cute? Both are hardy, heritage breeds that thrive in tough conditions while looking picture-perfect in your pasture!

I’m stepping away from my usual sheep posts today because a friend is downsizing their fold and has a lovely Highland pair available 🤩

✨ Yellow Scottish Highland steer (born 8/2025)

If you’ve been dreaming of adding these iconic beauties to your pasture, here’s your chance! PM me for details.

✨ How to Get Rid of Wasps ✨

The yellow jackets have been extra aggressive around the farm lately. A friend shared this simple recipe with me and it works incredibly well. Within hours, I had dozens trapped! Thanks Starry Skye Farm!

Here’s the mix:
🐝 1 part warm water
🐝 1 part sugar
🐝 1 part apple cider vinegar (less is fine)
🐝 A few drops of Dawn dish soap

The sugar + vinegar attracts them, and the dish soap breaks the surface tension so they can’t just land, drink, and fly away. Instead they meet their maker 😈

I’ve set several of these dishes around the farm, and you can see from the photos: they work!

⚠️ Note: These are yellowjackets, a type of wasp and not honeybees. They’re territorial, aggressive, and will sting repeatedly. So far I have not noticed any bees caught in these traps!

Hope this helps you keep your home and farmyard a little safer this season! 💛

When it comes to choosing a future flock sire, horn set matters. A wide horn set means the horns will curl out and around as the ram matures, giving a full curl without pressing into the face or jaw. It’s a sign of both good genetics and safe, long-term horn growth.

Both of these ram lambs are already showing impressive width - a promising trait this early.

Which one would you choose for your flock?

At Rooted Feather, we don’t just raise sheep.
We raise legacy.

Our flock is built for the long haul: heritage Icelandics, bred with precision and raised with purpose.

These are not fast-production animals.
They’re hardy, pure, and time-tested. Selected for tough land, soft wool, lean meat, and instincts that have been honed over centuries.

We don’t follow trends. We follow bloodlines.

Our stock is limited by design. What leaves our pasture is built to anchor yours for decades to come.

If you’re building something enduring.
Something to pass down.
You’ll understand what sets this apart.

Rooted Feather
Heritage, preserved.

At Rooted Feather Farm, we’re not just raising livestock - we’re raising a legacy.

As a veteran-owned, family-run farm, our work is built on a foundation of loyalty, hard work, and values that go deeper than profit. We believe in showing up for your family. We believe in doing right by your word. And we believe that the land teaches us what matters most: faith, resilience, and the kind of honesty that holds up under pressure.

We love collaborating with other small farms and businesses that share those values, especially those raising children in this life, stewarding their land with care, and honoring their commitments like their name depends on it.

This is more than just a business for us. It’s how we live, how we parent, and how we build trust in our community. And while we’re always cheering for small businesses, we’re especially proud to support those who reflect the character we strive to model every day.

We’ll always choose partnerships that are rooted in integrity - and we’re not afraid to quietly walk away from anything that isn’t.

Are you a small farm or ag-based business that shares these values? Drop your page or link below so we can follow along, support each other, and help build a stronger ag community - one that lasts for generations.

Golden hour on the farm 🌅

Photographing the flock before the bulk of them get shipped all over the NW! This year we hit a record size for our flock and while it’s been exciting, we are looking forward to getting them to their new homes. Over the next month, we’ll be sending off many of our 2025 lambs to their new homes and we couldn’t be more excited for the shepherds who are adding top-tier Icelandic genetics to their flocks.

We’re now down to just 10 sheep available for reservation. If you’ve been watching and waiting, now’s the time to reach out. Once they’re gone, they’re gone—and we won’t have more available until next year.

Whether you’re looking to build your flock, bring in new bloodlines, or finally start that dream homestead flock, we’d love to match you with the right sheep.

Trust the process, trust the stock.
Raised right, from the ground up.
