Reed'S Rustic Farm

Reed’s Rustic Farm, Romney sheep in Hodgenville, KY, is located in LaRue County and the Bluegrass region near Lexington. With more than a decade of experience, Hayley Reed meticulously follows breed standards, conducts regular health screenings and parasite checks, and maintains clear records for each sheep. All sheep live in pasture-based pens and receive daily handling to support calm temperaments and early socialization.

The farm’s rolling pastures are managed with rotational grazing to encourage strong hooves and balanced nutrition. Several lines trace back to foundation stock imported for superior wool density and gentle dispositions, supporting fiber projects and family farms alike. Visitors note the farm’s quiet setting and Reed’s open communication about husbandry practices. Breeding stock is selected with attention to fleece density and frame size, offering traits valued in small-scale fiber operations. Reed shares insights on seasonal flock rotations and shearing schedules, reflecting a hands-on approach rooted in long-standing farm traditions.
