Alexander Fitzpatrick

Alexander Fitzpatrick, a breeder of Cheviot sheep in Kansas, OH, cares for flocks in north-central Ohio near Cleveland. He follows recommended breed standards and conducts routine health screenings to maintain hardy, sound animals.

His sheep graze on open pastures rotated with native grasses and receive daily handling to encourage calm, well-socialized lambs. He draws on traditional shepherding methods to nurture resilient, adaptable Cheviot sheep in small family pastures. He maintains membership in local and national sheep associations to stay informed on welfare guidelines and industry practices.

His sheep produce dense, lofted wool favored by hand spinners for its resilience and ease of dyeing. Sturdy shelters and secure fencing protect the flock from seasonal weather, ensuring comfort throughout the year. Many neighboring Amish farms often exchange breeding stock or share lambing tips, reflecting a close-knit local supportive network around the farm.
