PTB Farms

PTB Farms is a Katahdin sheep breeder in Scott, LA, within the Acadiana region near Lafayette. They have raised Katahdin sheep for over a decade, are members of the American Katahdin Sheep Association, and participate in the national scrapie eradication program as well as annual regional field days. They focus on genetic selection for parasite resistance, conduct routine health checks under veterinary guidance, and maintain detailed lineage records for each breeding animal.

Their flock grazes on rotational pasture, with lambing taking place in sheltered barns before moving outdoors. Lambs are handled daily to encourage calm temperaments and early socialization. Breeding stock is selected for mothering ability and sturdy wool-free coats suited to southern climates.

On average, PTB Farms maintains a flock of around 60 ewes, allowing focused attention and strong herd dynamics. Customers note consistent growth rates and friendly dispositions, reflecting the Broussards’ hands-on care.
