Providence Hill Farm

Providence Hill Farm We raise low input registered and commercial hair sheep for breeding and direct sales. Our Flock size ranges from 70 to 170 head.

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!

Good livestock does not need barns to survive through most weather, but a blanket of high energy feed definitely helps in an ice storm.

These girls will start lambing in 2 weeks, hopefully this mess will be gone by then.

Any one interested in hardy lambs can start placing preorders now!

We have reached every farmers favorite time of the year where we test the brightness of headlights and traction of the 4x4. Our new employee (puppy) Trade does not seem to care to much as long as her belly is full.

It has truly been an awesome summer for grazing on Providence Hill. We have had more, and better forage this summer than ever before which has led to some plump lambs and a ewe flock who is in perfect condition to meet their boyfriends in 2 weeks!

It is a very different grazing season than a year ago. We have an abundance of grass, and the ewes have put back a lot of condition over the last month. With the abundant rain we have begun clipping many pastures, in preparation for fall and winter grazing.

Lambs crossed the scale for the last time this week and we held our first pick up yesterday afternoon. Thanks to everyone who purchased sheep this spring! If you need a few more ewe lambs, we still have several quality animals available.
