What if?
Every breed has its strengths. Our Katahdins are low-maintenance, parasite resistant, self-shedding -- and flighty. Will crossing them with a Dorper settle them down and improve their carcass quality?
We'll find out next year.
Meet our newest addition.
Hint: He's the one that doesn't look like the others.
He's hanging out with several stout ewes in the front pasture.
Meanwhile, in the back pasture, we have the Katahdin ram hanging out with his group of ewes.
Hint: He's the one keeping a distance from the ewes.
Residing in the middle pasture are a group of ewes that I'm using to work the dog and some lambs that are going to market next month, and the llama.
They didn't get their photo taken because I was running out of light.
But they'll be photos next spring when the results of the new experiment land on the ground.
