Owners - Mike and Becky Lannon
Welcome to our website. We breed
quality registered Barbados Blackbelly sheep according to the standard of the Barbados Blackbelly Sheep Association International, and to suit our own liking
as well. Barbados Blackbellies are a polled hair sheep, meaning they have
no horns and they have hair instead of wool. They are a meat sheep prized for
the mild sweet flavor of their lean meat. There is no mutton taste in the
Blackbelly sheep regardless of its age when butchered. We occasionally sell market lambs for slaughter, but most of our sheep are sold as breeding stock, either individually or as starter flocks. I believe we have been successful selling breeding stock because of our dedication to excellence. We specialize in eliminating scurs and hornbuds from this breed along with white markings that have crept into the gene pool. In other words, we breed
to the standard of perfection, be it physical traits or temperament. If you are interested in learning more about this breed please contact us. We live in Hockley, Texas, approximately two hours northwest of downtown Houston. If you would like to visit our farm to see our sheep, please call or email us to make an appointment and get directions to the farm. Mike and I are both retired, so we are here most of the time taking care of our sheep. We love to talk about blackbellies and we would really enjoy meeting you.
