Bernwood Farms

Bernwood Farms raises Katahdin sheep in Canon, GA, situated in southeastern Georgia near Augusta. The operation has been breeding Katahdin sheep for several years, following breed association guidelines and maintaining flock health with routine veterinary examinations and strategic parasite management.

Sheep graze on well-managed pastures that rotate across fenced paddocks, with access to sturdy shelters designed for comfort and protection in diverse weather. Lambs benefit from daily handling and early socialization, which supports gentle temperaments and confidence around people.

Bernwood Farms is committed to genetic diversity and selects breeding stock based on conformation and maternal traits to promote sound structure and resilient offspring. The farm often shares breeding insights at community agriculture events and regional fairs, reflecting its connection to local livestock traditions. Owner Matthew Bernes draws on practical experience in small-scale, pasture-based livestock farming to support animal welfare and sustainable land stewardship.
