Misty Holler Katahdins

Misty Holler Katahdins, Katahdin sheep breeders in Buchanan, VA, farms in Giles County in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Roanoke. Chelsea Anderson and Daniel Anderson have raised Katahdin sheep for several years and follow registry guidelines, with routine health screenings to ensure flock well-being.

The flock grazes on open pastures using rotational grazing to promote natural foraging, and lambs are handled daily to foster calm, well-socialized animals. Their focus on sustainable practices supports pasture health and strong mothering instincts. Gentle temperament and consistent lamb growth make their sheep suited to both homesteading and small-scale meat production.

Seasonal housing includes straw-bedded barns and well-drained shelters for comfort through changing weather, while fresh water, mineral supplementation and shared pasture management advice with neighboring farms support both flock health and sustainable practices across the region. Their shared knowledge helps local farmers refine rotation schedules and improve regional sheep stock. The Andersons value transparent communication and maintain detailed breeding records to guide informed flock management.
