Momma's Mad Ranch

Momma's Mad Ranch breeds American Blackbelly sheep in Hayden, Alabama, serving Blount County and the Tennessee Valley near Birmingham. Wayne Jennings operates the ranch with a focus on genetic diversity, health monitoring and sustainable land stewardship.

The ranch uses rotational grazing on local clover-rich pastures, a balanced diet with trace mineral supplements and routine parasite control to maintain body condition and reproductive health. Lambs enjoy early socialization through daily handling, open pasture access and sturdy shade structures that ease transition to new environments.

Meticulous records track each sheep’s lineage, health history and breeding performance. One local flock owner noted the ranch’s approachable guidance during their first lambing season. Bloodlines emphasize parasite resistance and adaptability, resulting in animals known for sturdy build and even temperament. Lambing is scheduled each spring to align with fresh pasture growth and encourage natural maternal behaviors.
