Jim Creek Zoo

Jim Creek Zoo Katahdin sheep Arlington, WA in the Puget Sound region near Seattle. Angelina Bennett has been raising Katahdin sheep on this property for more than a decade, follows established health screening protocols such as fecal egg counts and annual vaccinations, and participates in national sheep breeder associations.

The flock grazes on rotational pastures covering gently rolling fields year-round to promote natural foraging behavior and support optimal nutrition. Lambs grow alongside family life in an open barn and shaded paddocks, benefiting from early socialization with children and gentle daily handling. Focusing on sustainable husbandry and transparent breeding records, the farm maintains detailed health and lineage documentation that is shared with all who inquire. Visitors often note the calm temperament of the sheep and the peaceful farm setting, describing it as informative and unhurried.

Their natural resistance to parasites aligns with local climate, helping minimize chemical interventions. The lambs develop lean, flavorful meat valued by families who raise their own sheep.
