Bond Farms

Bond Farms, Katahdin sheep, North Jackson, OH, in Northeast Ohio near Cleveland, is known for careful breeding practices. Hanna Bond has raised Katahdin sheep for over ten years, is a member of the American Sheep Industry Association and follows scrapie eradication programs with regular health screenings.

Each flock enjoys pasture rotation, shelter access and daily interaction with handlers to support gentle dispositions and adaptability. Growth records and strong parasite resistance guide breeding pairs each season, reflecting a commitment to resilient bloodlines. Lambs are socialized from birth, mingling with older sheep and visiting families to foster calm temperaments.

Pasture plots are enriched with native grasses and legumes, providing a varied diet and reducing reliance on supplemental feeds. The farm’s rolling pastures border a small creek, adding shade and fresh water access throughout the grazing season. Manure management practices support soil health and minimize run-off into nearby waterways.
