L&M Farms

L&M Farms, breeders of Katahdin sheep in Midland, LA, is located in northern Louisiana near Shreveport. Anna Kate Blanchard and Bowen Blanchard have raised heritage flocks for more than a decade and hold registrations with the American Katahdin Sheep Association and the Louisiana Sheep and Goat Producers Association. Their sheep undergo routine health checks, parasite resistance screening and essential vaccinations to maintain flock wellness. With operations beginning over a decade ago, the farm’s roots reflect the Blanchard family’s time-tested approach to sustainable livestock care.

Animals live in open-range pens with woven-wire fencing, access to shelter and rotational pastures that help manage grazing pressure and parasite loads without chemicals. Newborn lambs are handled gently from birth and spend early weeks alongside adult ewes to support social development. Clients often note the flock’s calm temperaments, healthy frames and adaptability for small-scale grazing or fiber production.
