Delicious Mild Tasting Lamb
Katahdins are a hair sheep (not wool) and have a lovely mild taste to their meat. We’ve bred for a larger frame – without relying on any grain, just pasture and hay – where lambs can reach a hanging weight of 60-65 pounds in 9 months. This helps our customers get more pounds per processing fee at the meat locker.
Super Worm Resistant
We have developed the genetics in our flock that can “out-run the worms.” They are primarily Katahdin, with 1 generation of Dorper (he brought the color). We deworm with only certified organic apple cider vinegar in their water – and adequate pasture rotation. Ewes consistently throw twins and triplets, coming in off pasture with ample cover and a positive energy balance to throw off multiple viable eggs.
Even after 6″ of rain, our hilly pastures have zero soil erosion.
Perfect to graze Katahdins.
Pasture Hardy
Our sheep rotate through pasture that has trees in every paddock to provide shade & relief from summer heat. Winters are spent up closer to the farm house, with ample room in port-a-huts to stretch out in during severe weather breaks. Even at -30°F, the bedded port-a-huts stay above freezing with great air quality..
