Fat Horse Farm

Fat Horse Farm raises Katahdin sheep in Newnan, GA, Coweta County and the Atlanta metro area. Owner Sarah Cheatham has bred hair sheep for over a decade and collaborates with regional breeding associations, ensuring all animals receive routine health screenings and genetic assessments. Lambs spend their first weeks on paddocks under close observation and daily gentle handling, remaining with their mothers until natural weaning encourages strong early bonds.

The farm operates on family-owned land with a focus on rotational grazing and soil health, blending traditional stewardship with selective breeding for temperament and resilience. Its Katahdin stock is known among local smallholders for adapting well to varied climates and for calm dispositions. Visitors note the welcoming atmosphere and the farm’s commitment to sustainable practices. All breeding pairs are registered with the American Katahdin Hair Sheep Association. Periodic pasture analyses help maintain forage diversity and support the flock’s well-being.
