New Boy

The new stock trailer was needed because we had to go pick up a ram. He’s a katahdin, just like our Kat Von Sheep. A katahdin is a hair breed. They don’t have wool so don’t need shearing. They’re also nicely resistant to intestinal parasites. My husband trimmed his hooves while he was still in the trailer. When the door opened, he bolted out and tore around our pasture until he came across the rest of our flock, which brought him to a screeching halt. He’s already making friends, the ladies seem to like him. He hasn’t told us his name yet.

So some of his babies will have hair and others will have wool??

Any babies he has with a texel ewe will actually have a very poor quality wool. They may not even need shearing.
