Budd Martin

Budd Martin raises Cheviot sheep in Willard, Ohio, north central Ohio near Cleveland. He is a knowledgeable shepherd with over a decade of hands-on experience and follows industry-standard health screening and biosecurity protocols, including regular veterinary checks to support flock health. The flock grazes on rotational pastures and lambs receive routine daily handling to foster calm, adaptable animals. He maintains a manageable flock size to ensure each animal receives individual attention throughout the year, including winter months.

His breeding priorities include strong maternal traits and consistent, fine fleece quality valued by small farms. Buyers often note the uniform growth rates and hardy nature of the lambs, ideal for both meat and fiber production. Budd's approach blends practical husbandry with attention to animal welfare in every stage of development. He works closely with regional veterinarians to stay current on best practices for parasite control.
