Bar Double B Ranch

Bar Double B Ranch raises Barbados Blackbelly sheep in Medon, TN, in Madison County and the Memphis area. Mary and Ben Sanford have nurtured their flock with a focus on breed standard integrity, partnering with a recognized sheep registry and conducting routine health screenings. Their sheep graze on spacious pasture with access to shade and shelter, and lambs receive daily handling to encourage calm temperaments.

Since its founding, the ranch has emphasized sustainable husbandry and careful bloodline selection, resulting in animals known for their hardiness and gentle nature. Many who visit mention the sheep’s friendly disposition and resilience under varied weather conditions. This thoughtful approach reflects the Sanford family’s commitment to well-being and long-term breed quality. The flock’s adaptability to both open fields and wooded pastures has been noted by small-scale farmers nearby. Attention to nutritional balance and parasite management supports strong lamb growth and overall flock welfare.
