When we needed to find a breed of sheep able to handle Wisconsin winters,
pasture lamb with minimal to no assistance, and which required no shearing, I spent a great deal of time researching what was available,
finally settling on Katahdins.
We haven't regretted the choice.
Our Khats have lived up to their reputation of being extremely hardy, easy to manage
without being clingy or obnoxious,
and as an added bonus they make excellent working sheep.
We started with five commercial ewes
and a commercial ram.
The following year we made a trip to Iowa
and the farm of Carl Ginapp
of CMG Katahdins
to purchase 11 registered ewes.
With only one exception,
the ewes pasture lambed without issue, mothering up and providing us with a nice flock of healthy lambs.
The registered ewes have been bred twice to our commercial ram, Reegan.  This year's ewe lambs have become working sheep and are learning quickly.  We made the decision to part with Reegan this year and will be getting in an unrelated ram so we can breed some of our yearling ewes this fall.
We occasionally have ewes and lambs for sale and this year will have freezer lambs available in late fall.
