Running Springs Farm

Running Springs Farm, Katahdin sheep in Munfordville, KY, are raised by John and Ruth Byler in Hart County near Louisville. They have been breeding Katahdin sheep for several years, participating in registry programs and maintaining regular health screenings to support flock vitality.

Their flock grazes on rotational pastures and is handled daily to encourage calm temperaments. Their focus on selecting hardy genetics yields offspring adapted to varied Kentucky climates and resilient to seasonal local grazing conditions. Lambs are raised alongside older ewes in open barns that protect from harsh weather without limiting movement. The farm’s protocols emphasize parasite resistance and maternal instincts, with ewes selected for strong mothering traits.

Records are kept for each animal, tracking lineage and health milestones to maintain transparent breeding practices. The farm’s quiet rural setting supports natural behavior and fosters gentle interactions among flock members.
