Finley's Mountain Ranch

Finley’s Mountain Ranch is home to Katahdin sheep in Ukiah, CA, Mendocino County and the Redwood Coast near Eureka. Founded by Mark Burgess and Darlene Finley, the ranch maintains a program of regular health screening and follows generally recommended practices for Katahdin sheep.

Animals graze on rotational pasture with access to a ventilated barn and dry lots during rainy seasons, and the operation emphasizes low-stress handling and early socialization. Detailed records track breeding lines to support strong maternal traits and natural parasite resistance characteristic of the breed.

The family’s background in small-scale farming brings hands-on care to each breeding pair, resulting in lambs known for gentle temperament and adaptability. They work alongside a local veterinarian to refine feeding plans and ensure wellness checks are up to date. A focus on transparency helps clarify each animal’s background and health history.
