Katahdin Sheep
Dairy Goats & Bielefelder Chickens
ABOUT OUR KATAHDINS
We select for parasite resistance first and manageability second.
We have had 195-200% lamb crop for the last 4 years and zero losses from parasites since 2020.
All foundation stock is from MOF (Misty Oaks Farm) and OSF (Old Slate Farm) lines.
These are 2nd and 3rd gen FHF (Fair Hill Farm).
Lambs are born Jan - Mar, ready to go April - June.
​
Vaccines: You choose if you want your animal vaccinated. Kids and lambs are vaccinated at time of pickup so that you can witness the vaccination being given and know the exact vaccine injection site. All goat kids are disbudded. All sheep are polled (naturally hornless). No kids or lambs leave the farm until they are 10 weeks of age except occasional bottle babies.
For planning purposes, we are located in central Ohio, approx. 30 miles SE of the city of Columbus.

BIELEFELDER CHICKS
The super-chicken for homesteaders and pastured poultry operations. What makes these birds so darned special beyond their stunning good looks, giant eggs, placid nature, huge size, friendly personality and longevity? You know from their plumage at birth if they're male or female! Yep. No wonder they're so expensive to buy and often sold out! Introduced to the USA by our friends, the dedicated poultry pioneers at Greenfire Farm!
We have completed our planned hatches for SPRING 2024 but will do hatches for you or ship hatching eggs. Contact us for a conversation.
