Bennington Farms

Bennington Farms, Katahdin sheep, Martinsville, Indiana, and Morgan County and the Indianapolis area near Martinsville is raising healthy lambs on pasture for more than a decade. William Bennington has bred dozens of registered Katahdin lambs, follows American Katahdin Hair Sheep Association standards, and conducts routine health testing for parasites and foot rot.

Bennington Farms operates on a working homestead that combines pasture rotation with hands-on care in a family environment. The flock grazes open fields through spring and fall, then moves to sheltered barns with fresh hay and water during winter to support natural growth. Daily handling begins at birth to foster calm temperaments and early socialization before lambs join small farms for meat or fiber projects.

Adults thrive on mixed grasses and legumes, which contribute to lean meat quality and durable fleece characteristics valued by family farms. Local homesteaders often praise the flock’s steady weight gain and easy care under rotational grazing plans.
