St. Isidore Farm

St. Isidore Farm breeds Barbados blackbelly sheep in Hillsboro, Tennessee, serving Coffee County and Middle Tennessee near Murfreesboro. Anthony Graf has been managing the flock for several years, applying regular health checks and selecting for genetic consistency. The sheep graze on rotational pastures and receive daily handling to encourage calm temperaments and robust growth.

The farm’s layout combines fenced fields with sheltered barns that protect lambs from summer heat and winter chill. Barns are cleaned daily and bedding is replaced frequently to support hygiene and lower disease risk. Emphasis on natural herding instincts and low-stress care helps develop strong social bonds among the flock. Animals from St. Isidore Farm are noted for their even dispositions and sturdy frames, qualities prized by small acreage operations. Neighbors often remark on the transparent approach to husbandry and the ease of observing lambs thriving in a balanced setting.
