We are currently running a flock of 60 commercial Katahdin ewes. Katahdin’s have graduated off of The Livestock Conservancy list, but because they were once on that list they are still considered a heritage breed. Most people think that sheep are weak animals, but I definitely don't see that in this breed. Other then managing parasite loads this breed of sheep pretty well fends for themselves. They are great mothers and will breed back quickly to where some ewes will give you 3 sets of lambs in 2 years. Their color diversity is endless and even though it is just for our personal preference and we get nothing out of it. We choose to breed towards Type, and Size first but do give color variation a high prominence. We love the color varieties that we have been able to achieve. Our sheep are only grass fed. We will have limited numbers of adult ewes available. We also have ram lambs that can be used either for breeding purposes or for freezer. Our ewe lambs are sold as breeders only. They will be of various ages as we work towards certain traits in our flock. All ewes we have are proven great mothers.
