Green Acre Katahdins

Green Acre Katahdins raise Katahdin sheep in Cannel City, KY, serving Leslie County and the Appalachian region near London.

Bridgit Clark and Rick Clark have focused on sustainable breeding practices for more than a decade and adhere to breed association guidelines for health testing and flock management. They monitor scrapie status, maintain traceability records, and use FAMACHA scoring to guide parasite control. As a second-generation operation, they draw on decades of experience in Appalachian sheep husbandry.

Their flock grazes rotating pastures designed to promote soil health, and balanced feeding supports steady growth. Lambs receive early handling by family members to encourage calm temperaments and adaptability. Local farmers often remark on the consistent vigor of Green Acre Katahdins stock and the quality of its fleece. Their breeding program emphasizes maternal strength and lamb survival, and their stock has received positive feedback for uniformity of type at regional fairs.
