Our first round of lambs started arriving the end of January. We had 4 ewes that lambed 7 lambs.. 5 ram lambs and 2 ewe lambs!
We're now knee deep in the rest of our lambing season and so far we've had 3 ewes lamb 4 lambs and we have 7 ewes left to lamb!
We have katahdin hair sheep. Katahdins are very hardy, parasite resistant sheep with great mothering abilities. We currently have an ewe flock of 14 plus so far we've had 4 new ewe lambs born which has brought our ewe flock size to 18. We also have 2 rams.
Katahdin lamb is very similar in taste to veal. Its got a mild and beefy flavor. Our lambs are raised on mothers milk and pasture and then finished on grain the last 3 weeks.
