We are always looking for opportunities to partner, expand, and learn. Providence Hill Farm is a sheep farm located near Abingdon VA. We specialize in low input Katahdin hair sheep. We raise both registered and commercial stock. Our goal is to produce sheep that eat grass, and make lamb while you live your life. The flock has access to mineral at all times, and receives preventative medicine (vacc
ines). They are managed in a rotational system which reduces the amount of sheep requiring deworming. When sheep are dewormed it is done based on FAMACHA scores, and 3 classes of dewormers will be used at the same time. We keep intense records on all breading age sheep on the farm which allows us to implement an intensive culling strategy. This allows us to remove animals from our flock that do not perform well on grass, require medical intervention, or demonstrate pour maternal traits, and improves the lambs we have to offer you. Lambing begins around March 1st of each year. Experienced ewes will lamb on pasture, no assistance provided. Katahdin lambs are incredibly hardy as long as mom will let them eat a meal soon after birth. First time dams will lamb nearer the barn where we can keep a better eye on them. We will have bread stock available in June and often have butcher lambs too. If you are interested in adding a durable sheep genetics and habits to your flock or would like a grass fed lamb for your freezer, feel free to reach out to us at anytime!
We raise low input registered and commercial hair sheep for breeding and direct sales. Our Flock size ranges from 70 to 170 head.
