H.A.D. Farms

H.A.D. Farms breeds Katahdin sheep in Royse City, TX, in the North Texas region near Dallas. They are members of the National Katahdin Sheep Association and follow recommended health-screening protocols including parasite resistance evaluations, foot-rot prevention measures, and regular veterinary check-ups.

Their sheep graze on rotational pastures with native grasses, access to shade and fresh water stations, and receive daily handling to support calm temperaments. Lambs are raised alongside guardian animals and accustomed to human interaction from an early age. The Ageno family’s heritage of family farming informs a focus on flock longevity, biodiversity, and efficient pasture-based management. They also participate in annual performance assessments that track growth, maternal traits, and carcass quality for both breeding and meat-production stock.

Local producers and hobby farmers appreciate the farm’s guidance on pasture management and sheep health. Testimonials note gentle temperament and uniform growth rates across multiple lambing seasons.
