Konnor Barns

Konnor Barns and Keaton Snipes, Cheviot breeders in Degraff, OH, raise their flock in Logan County near Columbus. They have been raising Cheviot sheep for more than ten years, following American Sheep Industry Association guidelines and conducting routine and rigorous health screenings to maintain flock well-being. Their sheep graze on rotating pastures with seasonal and diverse forage and are provided shelter in well-ventilated barns during winter months.

Lambs enjoy gentle daily handling from weaning onward, allowing families to observe early personality traits and ease into new homes. Several lambs and ewes have earned ribbons at local fairs for conformation and fleece quality, reflecting Barns and Snipes’s steady breeding approach.

Operating from a family-owned farm, they practice sustainable land management and customize breeding plans to support small-scale shepherds. Prospective owners appreciate their clear health records and ongoing advice on nutrition and shearing schedules.
