~Our Philosophy~
"Pasture management from the ground up" is our way of life here at Dancing Aspens Farm.  Soil Health contributes to plant health which directly impacts animal health.  Our role as a shepherd is to, not only care for our animals, but also the soil, water and biological community.  We believe in using grazing strategies in a manner that are ecologically sustainable, converting forage into high quality lamb, fiber and breedstock.
Our role as a shepherd does not simply end when you take your sheep home.  We will help answer any questions you may have about your sheep long after they become yours.
