Sunset View

Sunset View, breeding Katahdin sheep in Mansfield, PA, serves Tioga County and the Pennsylvania Wilds near Williamsport. Jim Christman and Jackie Christman have been involved in sustainable sheep husbandry for many seasons and follow industry guidelines for parasite management and herd health screenings. Their flock grazes on rotationally managed pastures enriched with native grasses and clover mixes, and lambs receive hands-on socialization from an early age to encourage a calm temperament.

The Christmans blend traditional farm practices with an eye toward genetic diversity, focusing on hardy animals that thrive in local climatic conditions. Their routine health testing includes fecal egg counts and annual vaccinations tailored to regional challenges. Lambs raised at Sunset View are often noted by local farm visitors for their placid nature and steady growth rates. They stay connected with regional sheep growers associations to keep practices aligned with evolving welfare standards.
