Nr Farms

Nr Farms, Barbados Blackbelly sheep, Charlottesville, VA, is located in Albemarle County and central Virginia near Richmond. The operation has been raising Barbados Blackbelly sheep for several seasons and participates in national sheep registry programs, with routine health screenings for all breeding stock.

Sheep graze on rotational pastures bordered by mature woodlands, and lambs are handled gently from birth to foster confidence and ease of future management. Owner Neil Bouabid draws on a family tradition of small-scale livestock care and maintains detailed records of lineage and health history. The farm’s setting on a former dairy property provides varied terrain for natural foraging and shelter during changing weather.

Many customers note the calm temperament and robust build of the Barbados Blackbelly sheep as standout qualities for hobby farms and educational settings. Feeding relies on locally grown hay and mineral supplements tailored to sheep nutrition.
