Dairy/Katahdin - Unrecorded

Pictured at 3 months.

Love this ram lamb. He's really packing the meat and inherited the Katahdin coat. I can't wait to use him on my experiment dairy ewes.

I will be constantly kicking myself for not having papers on Louis so I could record this guy along with other Louis offspring. He's really beautiful and has a lot to offer.

He will be for sale in November after our primary breeding season.

Should I use a different ram lamb because I can have recording papers? I dunno. Sylvius is certainly the best dairy cross we've produced.

I have to keep reminding myself of the goal here. We brought dairy sheep into the flock to have a few to milk, but primarily to add to our Katahdin genetics and reinforce the beautiful, heavy milking, quick weight gain, and high birth rates.

Sylvius may be a detour on full registration on our project, but he's a great stepping stone to the look, confirmation, and lines I want. He also has the most color of any Katahdin/Dairy cross born here and a promising coat.

....Still some decisions to make, but for now, he's certainly staying on the farm.

2011 Ram Lambs

These pictures were taken April 11th.

All the ram lambs are varying ages so please take into account their birth dates.

More pictures are available on each particular ram as well as on the sires and dams.

All rams will come with registration/recorded papers with KHSI.

We will have no yearling or adult rams available this year.

Feel free to ask questions!

Those Photos I Promised

So...these are the pictures I sized down a month ago or so...

Louis

Pig or sheep?
Aravis

How handsome is my Louis?

Leipzig
Katahdin/Dairy Cross

Leipzig again.
Meaty!

The Senior Ewes in Pasture

Run for your lives!

Our two of our oldest ewes...Aravis and the new gal, Athens.

Dotty...the yearling that raised twins.

Cool pic

And this is the new gal from KRK that came from Montana.
She's just weaned off her lambs, so she's a bit thin, but she's gained some weight and lost some of that scraggly hair since this picture. She raised triplets this year and quads last!
Now officially the oldest sheep on site, besides Louis.

Johann and Ben-Hur
Don't look to closely in this picture...Johann shed out his main and it hasn't come back yet. He's very embarrassed.

Thank you so much KRK Katahdins for this amazing young ram! We really look forward to what he puts in our flock.

You can meet Ben-Hur at the Washington County or State Fair this year! :-)

More on the ewes that came home later...
