Bartel's Farm

Bartel’s Farm is home to Katahdin sheep in Montgomery, MI, Van Buren County and the southwest Michigan region near Kalamazoo. Bartel’s Farm follows established breed club guidelines for health screening and parasite management, ensuring each lamb meets routine benchmarks for vaccinations, fecal testing and overall condition.

Over the years, the farm has refined its breeding program to emphasize genetics that thrive in Michigan’s variable climate. Ewes and lambs are raised on rotational pastures with daily gentle handling to promote calm temperaments and resilience. The sheep graze in paddocks offering both shade and open pasture, with access to clean water and shelter during harsh weather.

Lambs often display the breed’s natural parasite resistance and steady growth, traits many buyers value for both small flocks and larger operations. Barns and paddocks are designed to reduce stress, with ventilated shelters for winter lambing and open fencing for summer grazing. Bartel’s Farm supplies stock suited to both homesteads and commercial flocks across Michigan’s varied landscapes.
