April Shedding

Handsome knows there’s no way to gracefully remove his winter coat. Katahdin sheep have hair instead of wool. So removing their winter coat involves rubbing against fence posts, wire fence, any stable and preferably rough object. Around the farm, we’re finding clumps of hair in the grass and hair hanging from the wire fence. The ewes are just thinking about shedding this spring. But Handsome’s a macho ram, and is ready to remove the winter hair and show off his sleek red summer coat.
