Cazel Farms

Cazel Farms, Katahdin sheep, Dundas, IL, northwestern Illinois near Chicago. Cazel Farms is managed by Kyleigh and Brayden Cazel, who have bred Katahdin sheep for several years and follow guidelines from the National Katahdin Sheep Association to ensure genetic health.

Their flock is pasture-raised on rolling fields, and routine health testing helps maintain strong, adaptable animals. Lambs receive daily handling to foster calm temperaments, and the herd thrives in both open pasture and mixed forage settings.

The Cazels place a premium on clear lineage records and transparent breeding histories, giving buyers confidence in each animal’s background. Operating from family-owned pastures, the farm values sustainable practices and rotational grazing to support soil health and animal welfare. Their sheep perform well across seasonal changes, making them suited to Illinois’ varied climate or similar northern pasturelands.
