Ewe lambs
Registered, from the foundation ewes. Raised on pasture and handled from birth, so they are quiet in the pen and easy to work.

know the job
The flock is not here yet. This is what it is being built to be.
Starter groups
Dog-broke ewes, sold as a group.
Groups of three to six ewes that flock, move off a dog, and stop when the dog stops. Before a group is ever offered it will have been worked here several days a week by two dogs of very different styles, so it has seen a wide outrun and a short, pushy drive.
None are available yet. When they are, you will be welcome to bring your own dog and try them first.
Breeding stock
A small flock, chosen carefully.
Katahdins are hair sheep. They shed their coat each spring, so there is no shearing, and the breed is known for parasite resistance, easy lambing and strong mothering. The foundation ewes will be picked for how they behave as much as how they look: a ewe that stands for a dog, raises her lambs and stays sound on this ground earns her place.
The plan is a registered flock, handled daily, with papers that transfer with the animal.
02
Ram lambs
One or two a year, chosen for structure and a calm disposition. The ones that make the cut will be offered here first.
03
Proven ewes
Occasionally a mature ewe that has lambed here and mothered well. The right start for a flock of your own.
Timing
First the ewes, then the lambs.
Starter groups come first, once the foundation ewes have arrived and been worked long enough to earn the name. Lambs follow a season after that, offered after weaning. The flock will be small, so if you want to be on the list for either, email now and you will hear first.
