Black Acre Farm

Black Acre Farm, Cheviot sheep, Greenfield, IN, is a small-scale breeder in Hancock County in central Indiana near Indianapolis. Dan Strahl has been raising Cheviot sheep for several years, following American Cheviot Sheep Society guidelines and conducting regular health screenings.

The flock grazes rotationally on lush pastures and lives in spacious barns where each lamb is handled daily to encourage calm temperament. Their commitment to pasture-based feeding and gentle socialization supports strong bone structure and friendly dispositions. Rooted in family farming traditions from Dan’s apple orchards, Black Acre Farm blends sustainable practices with attentive care for well-rounded sheep.

Each breeding ewe undergoes testing for common genetic conditions, and detailed lineage records accompany every lamb. Lambing season spans spring and summer, with careful sire selection to preserve the breed’s resilience in varying weather. Small flock sizes allow for personalized attention to each animal’s growth and well-being.
