Mill Ridge Farm

Mill Ridge Farm breeds prized Romney sheep in Carrollton, Ohio, serving east central Ohio near Canton. It is owned by Lyla Henry, who maintains membership with the American Romney sheep breeders and follows recommended health-testing protocols to support genetic health.

Ewes and rams graze across rotational pastures, and lambs receive regular handling from birth to encourage a gentle temperament. Its feeding approach balances lush spring grass with mineral-rich hay and trace minerals suited to heritage Romney sheep. The farm’s toolshed and barn setup reflect careful planning for weather changes, with insulated shelters and open-air loafing sheds. A record of top placements at local fiber festivals speaks to its focus on fleece consistency and staple length.

Long-time visitors often mention the calm flock dynamics and Lyla’s willingness to share breeding insights in a relaxed farm environment. Biosecurity measures and parasite monitoring are integrated into weekly routines to maintain flock health year-round.
