Barred Owl Brook Farm
Barred Owl Brook Farm breeds Katahdin sheep in Essex, NY, in northeastern New York near Plattsburgh. Alex Caskey has been raising Katahdin for several years, participating in regional registry programs and following recommended health screenings for parasite resistance and hoof care. Each flock grazes on rotational pastures managed under holistic grazing principles to maintain soil health and forage diversity.
Lambs are handled daily to promote gentle temperaments and ease of shearing at maturity. The farm’s creekside paddocks provide natural shelter and fresh water year-round, while winter feeding relies on hay harvested from the farm’s own fields. Caskey maintains active membership in Katahdin Hair Sheep International to stay current on breeding standards and genetic diversity. Barred Owl Brook Farm shares insights on sustainable grazing through local agricultural networks, reflecting its commitment to animal welfare and land stewardship. Visitors note the sheep’s calm disposition and the farm’s peaceful setting.
