Brady Family Farm

Brady Family Farm is a breeder of Katahdin sheep in Philadelphia, Tennessee, on the Cumberland Plateau near Chattanooga. Holly Brady has been raising these hair sheep for over a decade with foundational ties to the American Katahdin Hair Sheep International registry and routine health testing protocols.

The flock grazes year-round on rotational pastures shaded by native hardwoods, and lambs are socialized by hand from the first week to encourage calm temperaments. Barn and pasture rotations follow organic principles, and manure is regularly composted to nourish soil without chemical inputs. Recent lambs have shown strong growth rates and hardy coats, reflecting a breeding program that values resilience over show ribbons.

Several local farmers have noted the sheep’s gentle nature and ease of handling during community livestock days. Their pedigree records are available for review, and new lambs typically join small herds across Middle Tennessee.
