Alger Farm

Alger Farm, a Katahdin sheep breeder in Stella, MO, is grounded in Newton County and the Ozark region near Joplin. With more than a decade of experience, Alger Farm follows guidelines from national sheep associations and conducts routine health screening, including parasite checks and hoof inspections. Its breeding stock is selected for hardiness and maternal traits, supporting genetic diversity and resilience on small acreage.

The flock grazes rotational pastures and spends time daily in sheltered barns where lambs receive gentle handling to encourage calm temperaments and ease of management. Set on a family-owned homestead, the farm combines traditional husbandry with sustainable pasture management and open dialogue with local 4-H programs. Alger Farm shares its knowledge through hands-on workshops and maintains detailed records to help new breeders develop healthy, adaptable flocks. Prospective owners can expect approachable advice on feed regimens and lamb nutrition tailored to family farms.
