Pheastant Knolls LLC

Pheastant Knolls LLC raises Katahdin sheep in Grand Junction, CO, on a small family farm in Mesa County and the Colorado Plateau, nestled among red rock mesas and piñon pine. Owned by Doug and Mary Bybee, the flock benefits from over a decade of selective breeding, American Katahdin Sheep Association membership, and regular health testing through national registries. Lambs grow in spacious high-desert pastures on seasonal rotational grazing schedules and spend time with family members for early socialization and gentle handling.

The Bybees incorporate sustainable practices learned from their farming background on their small-scale operation and often welcome fellow sheep enthusiasts for hands-on workshops. Their commitment to low-stress handling has earned praise from local shepherds and fiber artists for calm temperament and sturdy hooves. These sheep display strong maternal instincts and solid conformation suited for both breeding and fiber production.
