Rodman Farms

Rodman Farms raises Katahdin sheep in Strafford, Missouri, a rural community in the Ozarks region about 15 miles east of Springfield. Curtis Rodman, along with Tyler and David Rodman, operate the farm with a focus on producing Katahdin breeding stock suited for both the farm and the show ring.

Stock selection at Rodman Farms goes beyond the visual. The farm is a member of the National Sheep Improvement Program (NSIP) and relies on Enhanced Breeding Values (EBVs) to guide decisions about which animals to retain or sell as breeding stock. Visual appraisal for structural soundness is used alongside that data to evaluate each animal.

On the ewe side, the operation sources foundation animals from established Katahdin producers around the region, selecting for structural correctness, body capacity, and growth rates. The farm places particular emphasis on ewes that are strong mothers with the milk production to raise multiple lambs. Show ring accomplishments include a Champion Ewe at the 2023 Midwest Stud Ram Sale and a Senior Champion Ewe at the 2023 North American International Livestock Exposition junior Katahdin show. Buyers looking for Katahdin sheep for sale in Missouri from a data-driven, performance-focused program will find a straightforward operation in the Rodman family.
