Prairie Coteau Farm

Prairie Coteau Farm is a Clun Forest sheep breeder in Astoria, SD, located in northeastern South Dakota near Aberdeen. Kristianna Gehant Siddens has been raising sheep for more than fifteen years with membership in the American Sheep Industry Association and voluntary health screenings for footrot and internal parasites. Breeding stock is selected for strong maternal instincts, fleece quality and structural soundness based on detailed records.

Lambs graze on diverse pastures under a rotational system and receive organic hay during winter months to support steady growth. Early socialization includes gentle handling throughout each day, helping lambs develop calm temperaments around people and other animals. Each year the flock benefits from on-farm lamb evaluations to track growth rates and fleece characteristics. The farm’s grassland pastures trace back to the original family homestead, offering a stable environment rooted in sustainable practices. Recent feedback highlights uniform conformation and bright, alert lambs with strong hooves and sound structure.
