South Hatton

South Hatton is a breeder of Katahdin sheep in Newburg, Maryland, located in Southern Maryland near Washington, D.C. The farm has been raising Katahdin sheep for several years and follows breed association guidelines to support flock health through routine veterinary checks and genetic selection.

Animals are rotated on nutrient-rich pasture and sheltered in a well-ventilated barn, with daily hands-on care to encourage calm temperaments and socialized handling. Owner Brianna Bowling manages a modest flock size to ensure each lamb receives consistent attention, and records are kept to track lineage and lambing performance.

The farm’s commitment to stewardship extends to sustainable grazing practices that benefit soil health and local ecosystems. Breeding decisions prioritize parasite resistance and adaptability to regional weather, aiming to support resilient flocks that thrive year-round. South Hatton participates in local agricultural fairs and collaborates with neighboring farms to share insights on flock management and pasture improvement.
