San Felipe Farm LLC

San Felipe Farm LLC, Katahdin sheep, Columbus, NC, western North Carolina near Charlotte. Rafael Bravo is a dedicated Katahdin sheep breeder with more than a decade of hands-on experience and active membership in the Katahdin Hair Sheep International registry. All breeding stock undergoes regular health screenings for scrapie resistance, hoof care checks and genetic evaluations for parasite resilience.

The flock grazes on rotational pastures enriched with clover and fescue, supported by mineral supplement stations and sheltered loafing sheds for weather changes. A balanced nutrition plan, combined with early lamb handling, helps ensure calm temperaments and strong mother-lamb bonds. Electric fencing and strategic pasture rest periods reflect the farm’s sustainable approach to land and animal stewardship.

Homegrown lambs have drawn positive feedback for their consistent growth rates and hearty build, making them well suited to small farms and homesteads. Lambs are available seasonally to encourage optimal health and temperament.
