Shep's Meadow Farm, located in Hillsborough, NJ, is owned by Eileen Stein and is occupied by Heather L. Nadelman. In partnership with Shep's Hill Farm, it maintains a flock of commercial ewes and a guardian llama.

Heather imported Coin from Michael Gallagher in July 2020, in the midst of the pandemic. Coin was raised and trained by Michael, who successfully competed with her in many trials in the UK. She is a pleasure to work: sheep like and trust her, and she is also reliably biddable and eager to serve as the partner of a human being. In addition, Coin is an extremely happy dog with whom it is a pleasure to live. Heather feels very lucky to have her and looks forward to competing with her in trials in 2021 and beyond. Coin tested clear for the full panel offered by MyDogDNA in 2020, including Early Adult Onset Deafness.

Megan originally hailed from the UK, where she started out life as Emma Gray’s nursery dog. She was sold as a two-year-old for a record-breaking price at a Skipton auction to be a cattle dog in Oklahoma. Heather bought her about a year later, and Megan has been a happy whirlwind in New Jersey ever since. She’s an incredibly active dog who loves to run and has an intense desire to work with a partner. Handling Meg on a course is always an adrenaline rush, but it’s never boring!

Flinn exploded into Heather’s life in August 2013, when she was imported from Wiet Van Dongen in Holland as a two-year-old. Now retired, Flinn is still an incredibly athletic, energetic bitch who is always up for any amount of work or entertainment, and she is second-to-none in her level of affection around the house. Flinn tested clear/normal for Collie Eye Anomaly and Choroidal Hypoplasia through Optigen. Flinn is a carrier of IGS according to testing offered by Animal Genetics.

Bred by Eileen Stein, Leap was Heather’s first border collie. Although she never became a working sheepdog, she was an incredibly smart, loyal dog who taught Heather a lot about the breed and was a valued member of the household until her death at the age of fourteen.

Heather imported Phyl from England in 2001. Phyl's father was Bobby Dalziel's Jim and her mother was Bobby Dalziel's Gael (who herself is the same breeding—Bobby's Wisp to Bobby's Dot—as his Cap). She was a very talented bitch who was the perfect first trial dog for Heather. Phyl died in 2013 at the age of 14 and a half, and she will always be missed.

Joss was bred by Heather (and whelped by Sally, who raised the litter), a cross of Amanda Milliken's National Finals winner Bart and Heather's Phyl. Although she never turned into a trial dog, she was a beloved member of Heather’s pack for fourteen and a half years.

Heather imported Killibrae Kim from Derek Scrimgeour in May 2007, following Kim's successful nursery season in the UK. Kim, who died on her seventeenth birthday, was a stylish, quick, smooth-flanking bitch with a great feel for her sheep. She was a lot of fun to work, and was even more fun to live with.

Heather imported Bo at the age of two in December 2010, from Wiet Van Dongan of Holland. Bo's pedigree is predominantly Welsh, with lines going back to Ceri Rundle's Bwlch Hemp/Dolwen Fan cross. At her young age, Bo had already won several Open trials for Wiet. Bo was quick and forward, with solid flanks and an obedient nature, and she proved to be a great Open partner for Heather. Bo was a wonderful house dog, with a whimsical personality and an affectionate nature. Bo tested clear/normal for Collie Eye Anomaly and Choroidal Hypoplasia through Optigen.
