Cavvietta Ranch

Cavvietta Ranch, Katahdin sheep, and Huntley, MT, raise healthy flocks in Yellowstone County in south-central Montana near Billings. The program began over a decade ago and maintains registrations with regional sheep associations while following industry guidelines for health testing and parasite management.

Lambs graze on rotational pastures with daily wellness checks and careful handling to foster calm temperaments and early social habits. Quiet barn shelters and natural shade areas provide protection from seasonal weather while encouraging free movement across varied terrain. Each pasture incorporates diverse forage species to support balanced nutrition and promote soil health without heavy chemical inputs.

Selection of breeding stock emphasizes strong maternal traits, efficient growth and natural shedding that reduces labor for shearing. Owner Lucy Adamski draws on sustainable agriculture practices to enrich soil fertility and design pasture systems that mimic native grasslands. Animals undergo regular body condition scoring and fecal monitoring to track parasite resistance and overall well-being.
