Shotwell Farm

Shotwell Farm, Katahdin sheep, Lawrenceburg, TN, is a small family operation in Lawrence County and Middle Tennessee near Nashville. Roy Brown follows best practices endorsed by national sheep associations, including regular health screening and parasite management, to support flock vitality and genetic integrity.

Ewes and lambs graze on rotated pastures and have access to shelter in a spacious, well-ventilated barn, while gentle handling from birth encourages a calm temperament. Visitors often note how the lambs respond calmly to quiet interactions, reflecting the farm’s focus on low-stress husbandry and careful socialization. Mid-sized litters are raised in a natural setting that balances free-range grazing with attentive care, and each breeding season is planned with an eye toward robust, adaptable stock.

Membership in regional sheep producers groups keeps Roy Brown informed about emerging health protocols and breeding improvements. The farm’s blend of traditional values and ongoing learning underpins a consistent record of sturdy, productive sheep.
