Sheri Wylie

Sheri Wylie, Katahdin sheep, Nashville, Tennessee, raises a small flock of hair sheep on a family farm in middle Tennessee. She follows industry guidelines for herd health management, conducts routine vaccinations, hoof care and parasite monitoring, and participates in record-keeping systems endorsed by recognized sheep associations.

The sheep graze on rotational clover and grass pastures, with ample fresh water and shade shelters, and lambs are gently socialized from birth to develop calm temperaments. A long history of stewardship on this property has fostered resilient breeding lines suited to local climates and seasonal temperature swings. Regular participation in county fairs, educational workshops and cooperative breeding circles helps maintain genetic diversity and connects the farm with fellow producers.

Sheri’s thoughtful approach balances animal welfare with sustainable land management and low-impact grazing practices. Her breeding philosophy emphasizes structural soundness and maternal qualities over flashy traits for long-term flock reliability. The result is a flock that thrives in Tennessee’s varied seasons, supports small-scale fiber and meat production, and engages visitors through educational farm tours.
