Bame Farms

Bame Farms raises Katahdin sheep in Salisbury, NC, in Rowan County and the Piedmont region near Charlotte. It has followed standards from the American Katahdin Sheep Breeders Association for annual health testing and meticulous record keeping for several years. Its flock grazes rotational pastures, and lambs are introduced to family life from an early age to encourage a calm temperament. Housing includes sheltered paddocks with natural ventilation and regular hoof and nutritional checks.

Bame Farms focuses on breeding for hardiness, maternal instincts, and meat quality suited to small farms and homesteads. Some of its sheep have supplied wool to local artisans in the region, reflecting a connection to nearby craft traditions. Andy Bame personally manages the family farm with sustainable pasture rotation and minimal chemical inputs. Regular veterinary consultations and a grain supplement tailored to seasonal needs support overall flock health.
