Four Hills Farm

About Four Hills Farm The Four Hills Farm Difference At Four Hills Farm, we strive for excellence for our animals, farmers, and consumers. We are the first sheep farm in the United States to earn a GAP 4 step-rating for our animal welfare practices, and each farm in our network is audited annually. What does that look like in practice? We produce our sheep with: A farming system based on excellent pastures, rotational grazing, and free-range animal production No feedlots, antibiotics, added hormones or steroids used Product traceability and quality production assurance systems in place Associated Organizations CEO Jim Mansfield began raising Katahdin Hair sheep at Four Hills Farm in Mercer County in 2005. He is the KY representative to ASI, and is a certified Master Solar Grazer. His son Russell worked on the farm until he went to college. Lynn Pruett began learning about the sheep enterprise in 2008 and now serves as the farm’s media director and is vice president. Truman Miller began working at Four Hills Farm in 2021 creating video and other media as well as performing landscaping duties and sheep work. Our flock management is dependent on livestock guardian dogs. We usually have a group of six or so whose job it is to guard the sheep. We live along a wooded creek where coyotes and bobcats roam. An electrified boundary fence helps, but the dogs’ nocturnal call and response with the coyotes keep the sheep safe. We have never suffered a coyote kill at this farm in Woodford County.
