The Farm on Brown Avenue

The Farm on Brown Avenue breeds Barbados Blackbelly sheep in Belton, SC, Pickens County and the Upstate near Greenville. With years of experience raising heritage sheep, the farm participates in breed registry programs, maintains partnerships with local veterinarians and ensures routine health screenings and parasite management for lambs and adults.

Its sheep graze on rotational pastures across gently rolling fields, receive daily hands-on care from Steven Hayes and enjoy early socialization to foster a calm, confident temperament. The farm’s facilities include a spacious barn with straw bedding, a dedicated lambing pen and access to natural shade along creekside corridors. Guided by sustainable practices rooted in regional agricultural traditions, the operation values genetic diversity, sound conformation and the distinctive lean meat quality of Barbados Blackbelly sheep. Pedigrees and health records accompany each sheep, supporting transparency for new owners. Occasional educational gatherings for local schools and hobbyists reflect the farm’s community engagement.
