Our flock of Katahdin sheep enjoying late summer pasture in preparation for breeding. Many of our Katahdin ewes have EBVs as part of the National Sheep Improvement Program.

We began our Katahdin Sheep herd with non-registered sheep but have added registered Katahdin ewes to our farm.  We will be lambing between 38-40 ewes for our 2021 lambing season. We will have 30 proven ewes bred and will be exposing 8-10 of our best ewe lambs. Out of our flock 25-27 of the ewes being exposed will be registered. If you are seeking Katahdin sheep for a pasture based system, then our stock would be a great choice. We sell both registered and non-registered Katahdin ewe and ram lambs.

This registered Katahdin ewe was our first ewe to have an EBVs for the National Sheep Improvement Program. We currently have 10 ewes with EBVs.

We are beginning the process of joining the National Sheep Improvement Program. We have greatly increased our recorded data to help insure the best breeding stock in being retained. We are focusing our breeding on maternal traits, growth rates, and increasing our lamb weaned percentage.  We have added ten ewes and one ram with EBV's over the past year to increase the connections of our flock to others flocks across the country. We are excited to enhance our genetics using the EBVs from the NSIP.

Please visit our Sheep for Sale page to inquire about available sheep and fill out the contact us form. ​We are thrilled to have the opportunity to share our genetics with other Katahdin breeders. Our Katahdin sheep are a great option if you are looking for rams, replacement ewes, or starting your herd. We are always open to visitors on the farm and enjoy discussing Katadhin with new breeders and experienced breeders. We also sell farm raised lamb sold in either whole or 1/2 carcass. Please fill out the contact us page if you are interested in purchasing farm raised lamb meat.

Fred, MZN 19279

Our new ram brings some big time growth rates. We are excited about the growth potential of his offspring.

MZN 19279, was bred at Glenbrook Farm by Matt Nolt. Fred is unrelated to our flock and will be exposed to a majority of our ewes this fall. He is a well balanced ram with tremendous growth EBVs and strong maternal traits. Fred truely looks the part of a stud ram. He is thick all over and we are looking forward to seeing his offspring.

Our newest herd sire is from Rolling Spring Farm in Southwest Virginia. We are excited about his genetic potential and his gorgeous brown color he can pass along to his lambs.
