These are our March/April rams that will be individually placed on our website this week. They are of breeding age and energetic to expand their horizons! We a hybrid system and encourage early (economical) growth with creep to get them off to early growth and maximize the efficiency of their rumen. They are also exposed to pasture to focus on parasite resistance. This is the way we have raised our rams for 20+ years and sold hundreds for breeding programs. They are dirty because of our lack of rainfall from 4 years of extreme drought but should clean up with a good shower. I think all are 1/1, 1/4 or 4/4 on TMEM for OPP testing which is the best you can get for resistance to OPP and highly sought after. I also believe all are RR for scrapie resistance as well. (OPP testing is something I would encourage all producers to do by the way. It is an economical debilitating disease and negatively affects production.) All will have individual videos and any pertinent info for each ram. NSIP info will be listed as well. Some of their sires and linage are in the top for NSIP. We will retain a few of these rams for incorporation into our breeding program and offering for sales. Most sires or ewes have color so just because you dont see it here doesn't mean that it won't happen. When they are listed PM me with relevant questions.
We will also have some dynamite Fall-born rams to offer off the farm and available for online and sales.
As always we strive to raise and offer the finest production Katahdins that are structurally correct for the show ring. Our goal is to assist our customers (or any Katahdin breeder) be as productive as possible. Thanks to all our customers.
