Bickett Farm

Bickett Farm raises Katahdin sheep in Xenia, OH, located in Greene County and the Miami Valley near Dayton. J. Keith Bickett maintains careful registration with national breed associations and the flock undergoes regular health screenings and parasite resistance testing.

Lambs and ewes rotate through pasture paddocks and receive daily attention to promote early handling and stress resilience. Seasonal rotational grazing and a sheltered barnyard during winter ensure consistent weight gains and robust condition through all seasons. The farm’s quiet lanes and attentive feeding schedule support sound development of frame and fleece quality prized by local shepherds.

Under J. Keith Bickett’s stewardship, the family-operated farm blends tradition with practical husbandry that reflects years of hands-on care. Long-standing relationships with neighboring small farms highlight the farm’s commitment to straightforward breeding records and a focus on wellness. Attention to water quality and balanced mineral supplementation rounds out a protocol that supports both lamb vigor and maternal health.
