About Us

Shady Hill Farms produces Polled Dorset and Suffolk sheep.

We produce sheep that excel in the show ring, the pasture and the feedlot. We have developed consistency and productivity in an attractive, balanced and complete package.

Purchasing a sheep from Shady Hill Farms is a sound investment because our sheep perform. Whether you breed show sheep, club lambs or are a commercial producer, we can supply the genetics that will advance your program. Our sheep will exceed your expectations.

In addition to seed stock, we also produce superior show sheep and club lambs.

We also produce other premium quality sheep-related products, distributed through Great American Lamb Company DL.

Shady Hill Farms operates on two farms in Newbury, Ohio. These farms are devoted exclusively to producing sheep and related products.

Shady Hill Farms is owned by Ben Calkins, who is responsible for the day-to-day care of the sheep and maintenance of the farms.
