Freedom Farm

Freedom Farm, Barbados Blackbelly sheep breeder in Mcintosh, FL, raises its flocks on diverse pasture lands and managed paddocks in north-central Florida near Gainesville. Kelly Cutich has several years of experience raising Barbados Blackbelly sheep and follows registry guidelines with routine health screenings, genetic selection criteria and clear documentation. Their sheep graze on rotational pastures and benefit from daily social interaction, shade structures and breathable shelters tailored to their needs.

Established on family land among oak-lined pastures and centuries-old pine groves, Freedom Farm emphasizes sustainable breeding and docile temperaments. Lambs are weaned at an appropriate age and introduced gradually to pasture, ensuring healthy growth, strong immune development and adaptation to natural forage. Breeding stock undergoes parasite management protocols, targeted hoof care and natural selection measures that support long-term flock vitality. Ewes receive targeted nutrition during breeding and lambing, with mineral supplementation designed for optimal milk production and standardized body condition scoring. Kelly stays connected with local livestock communities to exchange breeding insights, attend regional workshops and maintain standards of welfare across the region.
