Cooper Block Farms

Cooper Block Farms raises Katahdin sheep in Paris, Illinois, serving east-central Illinois and the Champaign area. Led by Cooper Block, the farm follows recommended health protocols with regular parasite monitoring and hoof inspections to support flock wellbeing.

Animals graze on rotational pastures, and sheltered pens are available during lambing seasons. Lambs are accustomed to gentle handling from an early age, helping them adapt to varied farm conditions. Many ewes and rams are selected for temperament and maternal ability, traits that benefit small-scale producers.

The farm integrates sustainable grazing practices that support soil health and biodiversity, reflecting a commitment to environmentally conscious stewardship. Its focus on the natural resilience of Katahdin sheep ensures flocks that thrive under Midwestern climates while preserving the breed’s parasite resistance. Locally, customers appreciate the flock’s calm disposition and sturdy constitution, qualities often noted during farm visits.
