TWELVE STONES FARM
A FAMILY OWNED FARM
Hi, I am Ryan. Welcome to our organic regenerative farm! We’re a small grass-fed sheep operation located in Henry County, TN.
We are passionate about what we do, that is, growing grass. It is our desire to bring you affordable, quality meat and breed stock while crafting our management to heal the fertility of the soil and eliminate toxic chemicals, pathogens, and parasites.
Our sheep are raised 100% on pasture without pesticides and herbicides. We are continually refining our management to raise our flock that accomplishes our holistic goals. Over time, through the generations of our flock, we will eliminate sources of toxic heavy metals, as well as the need for all dewormers and protein supplementation during winter. Through our management, we strive to achieve green grass that our flock will graze all year round.
- 100% GRASS-FED
- No vaccines
- Limited deworming
Ruminant Superiority
WHY SHEEP?
Often we are asked, why do you raise sheep? Why not raise pork or cattle that produce more meat per animal?
To answer that I have a very simple answer: sheep are delicious, hardy, resilient animals that require little infrastructure. We can graze our sheep anywhere that the sun shines and can unwind two strands of polybraid wire.
In addition, there are not many more things that have a greater nutritional profile than a well-managed and finished grass-fed lamb. Ruminants are the greatest at converting grass into the best-tasting and most nutritionally complete meat you can buy.
Sheep are very easy to handle and can thrive where cattle cannot! So little infrastructure is actually needed to care for them. In fact, we water our flock with 5-gallon buckets. And when we need to catch them, we just put a couple of T-posts in the ground then attach cattle panels with zip ties to create temporary catch pens in the open field.

Our Methods
ORGANIC GRASS-FED SHEEP
Intensive rotational grazing is by far the most superior form of management for quality of life, animal health and performance, pasture health and performance, nutrition, human consumption, eliminating need for grain (which is produced unsustainably), and finish with a quality, tasty product. Sheep should always graze fresh forage daily to prevent diseases and parasites—never eating it to the ground. For that reason, we provide our sheep fresh paddocks, well water and minerals, ensuring a healthy flock with little-to-no dewormers.
Our organic grass-fed sheep are rotated (moved to the next paddock) once every day. Accordingly, both our sheep and guardian dogs are broke to hot electric wire so we can use step-in posts with two strands of polybraid wire to quickly set up our temporary paddocks.
No living organism can function without carbon or energy. Thus, with proper management, intensive rotational grazing captures and harnesses these much more effectively, maximizing the amount of energy the soil captures and the animals capture. Due to the high stocking rate, a greater percentage of forage is trampled, putting more carbon into the soil. Energy from the action of grazing (taking a bite off of a plant), kinetic energy from walking, and the symbiotic energy (magnetic energy field around a mob of animals) are all captured by the soil, exciting soil life and increasing fertility.
We plan to go into more detail about these topics with articles in the future, so stay tuned! In the meantime, check out our article to learn more about intensive rotational grazing: Intensive Rotational Grazing 101 – What is It?
