River Creek

River Creek is a Katahdin sheep breeder in Newburg, MD, serving Charles County and the Washington, D.C. area. It has been raising registered Katahdin sheep for more than ten years under the American Katahdin Hair Sheep Registry. Flock members undergo routine health screenings, including parasite resistance testing and hoof inspections.

The farm follows a pasture-based management system, rotating flocks across fenced paddocks to promote soil health and natural forage diets. Lambs grow up in a family environment and are handled gently by owner Eddie Bowling to build trust and ease in various settings.

Eddie draws on family farm traditions to integrate rotational grazing with soil conservation practices. Visitors often remark on the calm demeanor of the sheep and the thoughtful care evident in every aspect of farm life. Katahdin meat is prized for its lean, flavorful profile, and lambs are raised to support sustainable local agriculture.
