December Farms

December Farms, Katahdin sheep, Beaver Falls, PA, western Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh specializes in hair sheep breeding for hardy performance and quiet temperaments. Patrick Carpenter has managed the farm for over fifteen years and December Farms is a member of the American Katahdin Hair Sheep Registry, with all breeding stock health-tested for parasites and structural soundness.

Lambs are raised on pasture rotations with daily flock checks to encourage social handling and adapt them to outdoor life from a young age. The farm’s low-maintenance approach highlights the breed’s natural resilience, often reducing the need for routine shearing. December Farms maintains detailed pedigree records and follows a selective breeding program to preserve desired traits such as maternal instinct and parasite resistance. The sheep graze across fenced paddocks with access to shelter and clean water year-round.
