Brace Farms

Brace Farms raises Katahdin sheep in Huron, SD, in eastern South Dakota near Sioux Falls. With years of experience breeding hair sheep, Samantha Brace participates in recognized registry programs and follows recommended health testing for parasite resistance and hoof health.

The flock grazes on rotational pastures that support natural foraging and promotes strong lamb growth. Lambs receive daily handling from an early age, ensuring they adapt well to human interaction and different farm environments. Known for a family-oriented approach, Brace Farms combines traditional husbandry with attention to individual animal welfare.

Its pastureland is managed to encourage biodiversity, with native grasses and legumes contributing to flock health. Throughout the year the sheep move between shaded fields and well-ventilated shelters to maintain comfort in both summer heat and winter cold. Detailed breeding records and clear health logs are maintained for each ewe, ensuring traceability and peace of mind for prospective owners.
