Slekira Farm

Slekira Farm, a breeder of Barbados blackbelly sheep in Lake City, FL, serves north Florida and the Jacksonville area.

Ashley Slaviero has more than ten years of experience with livestock breeding, participates in recognized breeding associations, and arranges routine health assessments for every lamb. Selection prioritizes calm temperament and strong maternal instincts, building on traits honed over multiple generations. The flock grazes on open pasture with rotational paddocks, and animals enjoy daily social time with the family dog. Nighttime shelter is provided in a barn with climate control that meets or exceeds state standards.

This family run operation carries a legacy of pasture based husbandry, with gentle handling to help lambs adapt early to farm life. Several sheep from the herd have won ribbons at county fairs, and the flock includes lines noted for parasite resistance. Slekira Farm follows biosecurity best practices and posts routine updates on herd health and pasture rotations.
