Our farm has been in the family since the 1950's, beginning as the home of a registered Angus herd under the ownership of Lael's grandparents, Rex and Leona Draheim. At that time, Maplewood Farm was a well known name in the Angus show ring.
Since the beginning of this century, the northern portion of the farm has become Maplewood North, home to a variety of fiber sheep and goats. We began with three bred Shetland ewes in 2001 and are now home to a flock of Shetland sheep, a herd of Angora, Nigerian Dwarf and Nigora goats and other assorted sheep. We raise our animals primarily on pasture and hay and use wormers and other medicines only when it is necessary. Our focus is on the fiber, although we also sell market lambs and breeding stock.
