Nettlecreek Farm

Nettlecreek Farm, Cheviot sheep, St. Paris, OH, is located in Champaign County and the Dayton area. Janet Pond follows recommended health screening protocols, holds memberships in breed organizations, and has developed experience over multiple lambing seasons. Over many seasons, she has refined her breeding selection with an emphasis on natural worm resistance and robust health. The sheep graze on rotational pastures with ample shelter, lambs are socialized from birth through gentle handling, and feed is balanced with locally sourced forage and mineral supplements.

The farm’s rolling hills have been home to Cheviot bloodlines nurtured for structure and resilient wool quality. Animals are managed for both pasture-based living and a calm temperament, reflecting a hands-on approach to husbandry. As a small-scale breeder, Janet values meaningful connections with fellow sheep keepers and shares practical advice at local fairs. This community-focused perspective contributes to a supportive network across the region.
