River Bend Katahdins

River Bend Katahdins, breeding Katahdin sheep in Horse Cave, Kentucky, in Barren County near Bowling Green, is run by Ervin Byler. With over eight years of experience it maintains registration with the Katahdin hair sheep breeders association and follows annual health screenings for parasites, hoof balance, and body condition. The flock grazes on rotational pastures through spring and summer, moves to open-sided barn shelters with straw bedding at lambing, and lambs receive daily hands-on handling to encourage calm temperaments. This approach supports both sturdy constitution and ease of management.

Stock is selected for parasite resistance, mothering ability, and moderate frame size suited to small homesteads. The farm rests on land managed by the same family for generations, and visitors often note the animals’ relaxed behavior in open fields. Detailed pedigrees and performance records are available, reflecting a commitment to transparency and steady improvement within the local hair sheep community.
