Lobdell Livestock

Lobdell Livestock, Romney sheep, Lemmon, SD, Perkins County and the Great Plains near Bismarck, specializes in breeding hardy sheep. Operating on a family homestead for more than twenty years, the operation has built relationships with local fiber artists and small-scale farmers. With decades of selective breeding and membership in recognized sheep grower associations, the farm maintains routine health screenings for parasites and foot rot. Every flock member undergoes regular vaccinations and genetic evaluation to ensure robust health.

They practice rotational grazing on native grass pastures, supplementing with alfalfa hay in winter and providing ample shade during summer. Lambs are gently handled from birth and accustomed to human interaction, contributing to calm temperaments. The farm’s sustainable land management, paired with soil-friendly fertilization methods, supports nutrient-rich forage that enhances fleece density. Prospective buyers appreciate the consistent wool staple length and versatile meat characteristics of these Romney sheep.
