Calvary's Cross Valley Farms

Calvary's Cross Valley Farms is raising Barbados Blackbelly sheep in Rutledge, Tennessee, on rolling pastures in Cocke County and eastern Tennessee near Knoxville.

The farm has been home to quality breeding stock for years and follows breed association guidelines to ensure sound structure, genetic diversity, and disease prevention. Each lamb is welcomed at birth into spacious paddocks, receiving daily hands-on care and gentle handling from day one. They graze on rotational pastures enhanced with mineral supplements and receive regular veterinary checkups for parasite control and overall well-being.

Kenny Reid maintains detailed records for each sheep’s health history, and the farm’s approach balances productivity with respect for natural behavior. Nestled along Hodgetown Road, the property blends traditional husbandry with a commitment to ethical stewardship that often draws appreciation from local hobby farmers. The farm’s involvement in community agricultural events helps share best practices with neighboring shepherds.
