Paddock Garden Farm

Paddock Garden Farm is a breeder of Katahdin sheep in Ridgefield, WA, serving Clark County and the Portland area. Scott Burgess and Laurie Burgess have been raising Katahdin sheep for several years and follow recommended health testing protocols, including parasite resistance assessments and regular flock health checks.

Their flock grazes on pasture with rotational grazing to promote strong immune systems, and lambs are handled daily by family members to ensure calm temperament. The farm emphasizes maternal traits and growth performance, helping small-scale producers find hardy ewes and rams suited to diverse climates. Sheep naturally shed wool, reducing labor while supporting sustainable fiber cycles for homesteads and small farms.

Health records are documented and available to prospective buyers, ensuring transparency in lineage and performance. The farm’s focus on balanced genetics supports both meat quality and adaptive health in varied environments. Paddock Garden Farm also shares breeding insights at local agricultural events to support home flock success.
