Burbrink Family Farms

Burbrink Family Farms is a family-run operation raising Katahdin sheep in Columbus, IN, Bartholomew County and the Indianapolis metro area. Justin C Burbrink has experience in small ruminant care and conducts routine health assessments in line with recognized sheep breeding associations.

The flock grazes rotationally on open pasture with shelter available year-round, and lambs are handled gently from birth to support calm temperaments. Regular parasite resistance testing and adherence to industry guidelines help maintain the flock’s overall wellbeing. Neighbors often note the steady lambing seasons and the sheep’s manageable disposition.

The bloodlines emphasize natural parasite resilience and feed efficiency, traits that appeal to both small farms and homesteads. The farm’s modest scale allows for hands-on care and traceability of each lamb’s health history. The farm participates in county fairs and supports youth 4-H programs, sharing knowledge on sustainable sheep management.
