ATC Family Farm LP

ATC Family Farm LP, Katahdin sheep, Columbia Crossroads, PA, in northeastern Pennsylvania near Buffalo, raises healthy, hardy lambs. The farm has several years of experience and is a member of the Katahdin Hair Sheep Breeders Association, conducting routine parasite resistance screening and hoof health examinations.

Lambs and adults graze on rotational pastures and move freely between mineral-supplemented shelters, with daily handling to foster gentle spirits. Owner Abramo Capece follows sustainable grazing practices and develops homegrown forage blends that support strong maternal instincts and robust growth in his flock. This hands-on care is reflected in stable temperaments and consistent lambing success across seasons.

The farm prioritizes biosecurity with fenced buffers and quarantine protocols for new arrivals, aiming to shield the flock from regional disease pressures. Capece occasionally hosts small group visits to share breed-specific care tips with emerging homesteaders. Winter shelter includes straw-bedded barns and heated water stations to maintain flock well-being during colder months.
