Biggs Grain Farms

Biggs Grain Farms raises Katahdin sheep in Chesterton, IN, serving Porter County and the Lake Michigan shore near Gary. The farm follows breed guidelines from the American Katahdin Sheep Association and maintains regular health screenings, including parasite checks and hoof care. Flock members graze on rotational pastures and receive daily human interaction to foster calm temperaments and strong grazing habits.

As a family-run operation, the farm balances livestock with grain production, using sheep to manage grass in crop fields. Lambing occurs in spring and fall to match pasture availability, and lambs remain with their mothers for natural development. Farmers and visitors often remark on the flock’s gentle nature and sound conformation.

Since its establishment, the farm has added pasture acreage to support an increasing flock while actively maintaining low-stress handling. Owner Ellery Biggs personally oversees lambing, ensuring attentive care during the first weeks of life.
