Briar Hill Farm, LLC

Briar Hill Farm, LLC raises Katahdin sheep in Harrisville, West Virginia, in north central West Virginia near Parkersburg. Edward R Cokeley and Gail L Cokeley are members of the Katahdin Hair Sheep International registry and prioritize genetic diversity and disease resistance through regular health testing.

The flock grazes rotationally across well-drained pastures and lambs are socialized from birth in a family environment. Shelters are ventilated and cleaned daily to maintain comfort during seasonal changes. Natural forage is supplemented with balanced minerals to support health through seasonal weather shifts.

The farm has been managed by the Cokeley family for decades, preserving traditional husbandry while meeting contemporary welfare standards. Briar Hill Farm monitors lamb growth with individual records to ensure consistent temperament and frame development. Their sheep supply local homesteads as well as small-scale farms seeking resilient meat sheep adapted to regional climates.
