Doe Run Farm LLC

Doe Run Farm LLC is a Katahdin sheep breeder in Bernville, PA in Berks County near Allentown. Owned by Chris and Sherry Beitler, the farm adheres to recommended health screenings and detailed record-keeping through breed registry programs.

The sheep roam seasonally on diverse pastures with rotational grazing plans and move to sheltered paddocks in winter. Lambing takes place in open barns where each ewe receives individual attention, and early handling helps lambs develop calm temperaments. They maintain a modest flock size to ensure personalized care and work closely with local veterinarians on preventive health measures.

Selective breeding emphasizes mothering ability, parasite resistance and consistent fleece quality. The flock is valued for their sturdy frames, resilient health traits and adaptability to local weather patterns. Grounded in a family farming tradition and sustainable routines, Doe Run Farm balances productivity with mindful stewardship.
