Chicken Hollow

Chicken Hollow is a Katahdin sheep breeder in Red Bluff, CA, serving Tehama County and the Sacramento Valley near Redding. Daniel Alcala has focused on raising parasite-resistant flocks through regular health checks, selective breeding, and cooperation with regional sheep associations.

The flock grazes rotationally across open pastures and is accustomed to close interaction with small farm animals and visitors. Lambs are handled early to promote gentle dispositions, and each animal is evaluated for structural soundness and resilience in varied climates. A recent visitor described the lambs as sturdy and well-tempered, reflecting years of attentive husbandry. Living on a working homestead, Chicken Hollow integrates sustainable practices to maintain soil health and support vibrant pasture growth.
