Meadow Brook Farm

Meadow Brook Farm, Clun forest sheep in Warrenton, VA, is located in Fauquier County in Northern Virginia near Washington, D.C. Janis Rudy and Tom Rudy have long been active in national sheep registry programs and follow recommended veterinary screenings to maintain a sound, productive flock.

Their Clun forest sheep graze on diverse pasture rotations, with routine handling that promotes calm temperaments and familiarity with farm life. Sheltered barns are kept at stable temperatures and open-air sheds provide shade and ventilation to support flock comfort year-round. They monitor nutritional intake closely with pasture testing and supplement accordingly.

The operation grew from a family homestead and emphasizes sustainable practices, breeding for durability and maternal traits suited to small-scale farming. New lambs are born in sheltered barns and then introduced gradually to outdoor paddocks, ensuring each animal receives personalized attention throughout its development. Regional breeders often note the flock’s strong bone structure and healthy wool growth.
