Our sheep are Katahdins, a breed of sheep whose wool/hair sheds for the summer and grows thicker in the winter. They are hence also referred to as a 'hair sheep'. Almost all other breeds require the farmer to shear their wool. Because Katahdins do not, they produce less lanolin, the oil that lubricates the sheeps dense layer of wool. We find that with less lanolin, the meat is milder and better tasting. We sell , weanling lambs typically in spring; both for pets and breeding stock. Our Katahdins have primarily a Class A coat.
We've added a Dorper ram to the herd so you'll find many Katahdin x Dorper crosses now in the lambs we sell. We find these crosses to be stronger and more functional at birth and with a better muscled carcass later on. Dorpers are also a hair sheep, with all the same advantages to the meat as Katahdins.
