S&B Bell Farms

S&B Bell Farms, Katahdin sheep, Hodgenville, KY, in LaRue County and the Bluegrass region near Louisville. They have been raising Katahdin sheep for over ten years, following recommended health-screening protocols and working with regional breed associations. Their flock grazes on managed pasture rotations with access to clean shelters, and they nurse lambs in heated barns before introducing them to open fields. As hair sheep, Katahdin from the farm require minimal shearing, offering a low-maintenance choice for small-scale meat producers.

The Bells began with a hobby flock and now maintain a carefully selected group of ewes and rams chosen for parasite resistance and easy lambing. Their hands-on approach includes daily health checks and gentle handling to support social development and stress-free growth. A nearby reviewer noted the flock’s calm disposition, strong maternal instincts and consistent meat quality valued by local chefs. They implement parasite monitoring and footrot inspections to maintain flock health year-round.
