Headacres Farm

Headacres Farm breeds Katahdin sheep in Washington, PA, in Washington County and southwestern Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh. Daniel Bitz and Stephanie Bitz follow American Katahdin Sheep Breeders Association guidelines and ensure their registered flock undergoes routine health screenings and genetic assessments. Lambs are raised on rotational pasture with daily social interaction, encouraging a calm temperament, solid muscling, and robust growth.

Their approach balances sustainable grazing with sheltered sleeping areas, proactive parasite management, and year-round access to fresh water so sheep stay comfortable through all seasons. The Bitz family operation began as a small homestead over fifteen years ago and now supports a multigenerational love of farming and animal stewardship. They also carry out routine hoof trimming, tailored nutrition programs, and low-stress handling to support overall flock vitality. Visitors often comment on the sheep’s gentle nature and the farm’s tidy pens, open fields, and welcoming farmstead atmosphere.
