R&R Katahdin Farm

R&R Katahdin Farm breeds Katahdin sheep in Wellington, KY, Northern Kentucky near Cincinnati. They adhere to breed association guidelines and keep detailed records of health screenings in collaboration with local veterinarians. The flock grazes on rotational pastures rich in native grasses and clover, and sheep are handled gently each day in a farmstead setting to support natural behaviors and build confidence.

Several local reviews highlight the calm disposition of their sheep, attentive care and consistent growth of lambs throughout the season. Breeding goals focus on hardiness, maternal traits and adaptability to changing weather, traits well suited to small-scale farms and homesteads.

Owned by Randal and Rebecca Beal, the farm values pasture-based management and regenerative practices, providing shade, shelter and mineral supplements throughout grazing seasons. They maintain small group sizes to encourage strong flock dynamics, monitor each lamb’s growth weekly and introduce new stock gradually to ease herd transitions. All lambs receive early hoof trimming, gentle handling from birth and thorough health checks to build trust and detect concerns promptly.
