Brokaw Farm Katahdins

Brokaw Farm Katahdins, Katahdin sheep, Stronghurst, IL, Henderson County and the Mississippi River Valley near Davenport. Lee Brokaw has been raising this hardy hair sheep breed on the family farm for several years, and the flock is registered with the American Katahdin Sheep Breeders Association. All breeding ewes and rams receive annual wellness exams by a local veterinarian, plus routine fecal egg counts and hoof trimming to support flock health.

The sheep graze across rotational paddocks with access to a sheltered run, and lambs are gently handled from the first week to encourage early socialization. Hay and grain blends are sourced from nearby farms to meet nutritional needs throughout the seasons.

Brokaw Farm tracks bloodlines for parasite resistance and hardiness, aiming to offer stock suited to small- and hobby-scale operations. Visitors appreciate the calm handling, transparency about flock management, and the farm’s quiet, family-run atmosphere.
