Hazlett Farm
Hazlett Farm raises Barbados blackbelly sheep in Hawthorne, FL, in north central Florida near Gainesville. Lita Hazlett brings over a decade of hands-on experience to her registered flock, following industry guidelines for health testing and parasite management.
The sheep graze on mixed pasture and spend nights in a barn retrofitted for ventilation and bedding rotation, ensuring comfort and natural behavior. Hazlett Farm adheres to breed standards and works with veterinary partners to monitor flock health, including regular hoof trimming and comprehensive nutritional assessments. Seasonal rotational grazing supports soil health and provides diverse forage, contributing to lamb vigor and wool quality.
A family-run operation with roots dating back to the 1960s, Hazlett Farm blends traditional agricultural practices with a steady commitment to flock welfare. Early handling and gentle interactions encourage curiosity in lambs through supervised visits and calm exposure to people.
