Bruns Livestock

Bruns Livestock breeds Katahdin sheep in North Platte, NE, in West Central Nebraska near Kearney. Kelly and Stacie Bruns have raised Katahdin sheep for more than a decade and are active members of regional sheep breeder associations, with regular health screenings for parasite resistance and growth performance.

Their flock grazes on rotational pastures complemented by secure shelter, and lambs are handled gently from birth to encourage calm temperament and easy integration into diverse farm operations. They emphasize sustainable practices and genetic selection aimed at hardiness and maternal instincts, which are often praised for reliability during lambing season. The family’s hands-on approach reflects a long-standing commitment to quality livestock stewardship. Pasture rotation supports soil health and reduces reliance on chemical treatments, aligning with the family’s focus on natural livestock management. Neighbors often appreciate the quiet flock and note the sheep’s adaptability to varied grazing conditions.
