Clover Creek Farm

Clover Creek Farm, Barbados Blackbelly sheep, Toone, Tennessee, Hardeman County and the Tennessee Valley near Memphis. Victor Read and Mary Read are committed to nurturing a sustainable, heritage-focused flock with attention to genetics and welfare. Their focus on routine health checks and rotational grazing supports strong lamb growth and resilient flock health. Lambs are gently handled from birth to encourage calm temperaments in family and small-scale farm settings.

As a heritage breed known for adaptability and lean meat, Barbados Blackbelly sheep suit both conservation flocks and homestead production. Visitors comment on the farm’s welcoming atmosphere and the steady rhythm of daily care across the rolling pasture. They regularly attend regional farm gatherings and actively exchange breeding knowledge through local agricultural extension programs. The Reads raise sheep for both sustainable meat and conservation flocks to support biodiversity and local food systems.
