3 Springs Farm

3 Springs Farm is a breeder of Katahdin sheep in Fairmont, WV, north-central West Virginia near Morgantown. It has maintained a small flock for several years with registrations through the National Katahdin Sheep Association and routine health screening for parasite resistance.

Its grazing system rotates sheep across clover-rich pastures to support natural foraging while daily gentle handling helps lambs build confidence and a calm temperament. As a family operation run by Chuck Cienawksi and Sharron Ball, it focuses on selection for hardiness and fleece quality, producing lambs known for sturdy frames and soft wool. Breeding decisions are guided by performance records and visual appraisal, ensuring ewes and rams contribute to a resilient flock suited to local climates.

The rolling terrain, lined with old oaks and stone walls, provides sheltered areas for lambing and natural shade during warm months. Visitors note the quiet harmony of flock and farm animals, a sign of daily care that extends to every newborn lamb in its barns.
