Crickets & Clover Farms

Crickets & Clover Farms raises Katahdin sheep in Frederick, MA, in New England near Boston. Patricia Brooks and Gary Brooks have been selecting healthy lambs for several seasons, hold membership in relevant sheep breeding associations, and follow association guidelines for routine health screenings.

Their flock grazes on rotational pastures and lambs are socialized from birth to encourage adaptable temperament. The Brooks maintain a small family setting on rolling fields, reflecting a commitment to sustainable practices and gentle handling. Each breeding season focuses on hardiness and low-maintenance traits suited to grass-fed operations. Care routines include regular hoof trimming and dietary adjustments to seasonal forage availability. Ewes are monitored closely during lambing season, and new lambs receive dedicated nighttime care for several days to support early growth and mother bonding. Buyers note the calm disposition of lambs and consistent growth rates across the flock.
