Dave Garmene

Dave Garmene is a breeder of Cheviot sheep in Wilkinson, IN, Johnson County and central Indiana near Indianapolis. He has been raising these hardy sheep for over ten years, following established health protocols and maintaining detailed records for each animal’s lineage and wellness.

The flock grazes on rotational pastures seeded with nutrient-rich grasses, and lambs are introduced to daily handling to promote calm behavior and easy transitions. Each breeding selection emphasizes temperament and structural soundness to preserve the breed’s natural hardiness and adaptability on diverse terrain. During lambing season, ewes receive close monitoring, extra nourishment and access to secure pens for safe delivery and early bonding.

His farm features a spacious, well-ventilated barn, secure lambing suites and outdoor turnout areas that mirror the sheep’s traditional hill-country environment. Prospective owners often appreciate the transparency of his records and note the flock’s consistent health, sturdy frames and gentle dispositions.
