Voress Family

Voress Family breeds Katahdin sheep in Sidney, OH, in Shelby County and the Upper Miami Valley near Dayton. They have been raising Katahdin sheep for over a decade, hold active memberships in the American Katahdin Hair Sheep Association, and conduct regular health screenings including fecal egg count testing and CD&T vaccinations to uphold breeding standards. The flock grazes on rotational pastures of native grasses and clover, and lambs are introduced to gentle handling routines from an early age to foster adaptability and calm temperaments.

Their farm balances soil health and animal welfare through sustainable grazing practices, seasonal pasture rotations, and carefully maintained shelter where sheep can seek shade or shelter as needed. Visitors often note the attentive care in this pasture-based setting, and the family-run environment gives each animal personalized attention during feeding and routine health checks. With a focus on clear lineage records and genetic diversity, Voress Family maintains consistency across generations while preserving the breed’s natural qualities. Offspring from this flock are known for consistent fleece quality and gentle natures valued by small-scale farmers and homesteaders.
