KB Farms

KB Farms, Katahdin sheep, Youngsville, LA, operates in the Acadiana region near Lafayette. Kevin Broussard has dedicated several years to raising Katahdin sheep and follows guidelines set by the American Katahdin Sheep Association for registration and health testing. Each flock grazes on open pastures under rotational grazing practices, with lambs gently handled from birth to encourage calm temperaments.

The farm’s approach emphasizes sustainable land management and genetic selection for resilience in humid climates. Breeding stock undergoes routine health screenings, and lambs are socialized to family life to ensure they adapt smoothly to diverse farm environments. Sheep are selected for natural parasite resistance, reducing reliance on chemical treatments while supporting animal welfare. Housing includes three-sided sheds with fresh bedding, allowing sheep to shelter while maintaining airflow and hygiene. This steady focus on well-being and hardiness has earned praise for consistent lamb vigor and manageable care needs.
