Cargill Farm

Cargill Farm raises Katahdin sheep in New Ipswich, NH, serving Hillsborough County and the Merrimack Valley near Manchester. Emma Cargill has been raising sheep for more than a decade and follows industry-standard health testing, including scrapie monitoring. Cargill Farm is a member of the Katahdin hair sheep breeders association, sharing knowledge and resources with fellow producers.

The flock grazes on rotational pastures and enjoys a spacious barn for shelter, with daily interaction to support gentle temperament. The farm’s roots on a family homestead reach back three generations, blending traditional care with a focus on robust maternal traits. Lambs are raised alongside the adults from day one, which fosters social bonds and eases their integration into rotational grazing cycles.

Visitors note the calm nature of the sheep and the clear commitment to sustainable grazing practices. All pastures are managed to support native grasses and improve soil health, reflecting Cargill Farm’s emphasis on environmental stewardship.
