Thought you also might enjoy a couple of pictures of my Katahdin herd. I only have two ewes and their lambs at this point, but I may expand to a third ewe for next season.
Here is last years lamb crop all boys. The little black was sold as a ram prospect when he was weaned at about 4 months. His mother was Dot and he had a still born brother twin at birth.
Here is a picture of Dot my three year old ewe. She is standing in front of my other sheep Molly's twins from last year. Both of these lambs were banded and went as meat. One went into my freezer.
Not the best picture but this is Molly.
This is the father of the babies above and this year's crop as well. His name was Bob Bob Black Sheep. We sold him late last fall.
And this is this year's lamb crop. This season we only have one boy for the freezer. (black with white face) The current plan is to keep the brown and white girl (Ewela May), the black and white girl (Rosemary) and sell Molly and the black girl (Thyme). I will also be purchasing a ram lamb this fall to breed with.
