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.

Dotty has lambed twice producing and raising five healthy lambs.
She is a small ewe. Her mother was a good 250lbs, but Dotty was bred much younger and doesn't look as impressive. She's a good mom with excellent lines.
