Wolfemomma - Our Homestead Journey

[WolfeMomma]

Update!
We finally found a couple of very well bred Ewes that should fit our needs nicely. They should be a great addition to our farm. Next will be a ram, though I have no idea where to really start with that. I have a lot of research and learning to do before deciding on what we want . Any tips on where to find good quality Katahdin Rams? it looks like I am going to have to drive quite a distance to find anything. I would like to get some bloodlines from out of state. Have any of you purchased out of state before? do you usually do the drive your self or use a livestock shipping company?

Have you checked the katahdin.org website? Also Facebook has a lot of groups dedicated to Katahdin sheep and it's fairly easy to see who is genuine and who isn't. I know of several great breeders but they would definitely be too far to drive.

I had to go back and read your thread again and seems I'm repeating myself which is nothing new for me.

No worries, I repeat my self quite a bit! We have found a really good breeder, who is very willing to help us, give advice ect. So we are very thankful for that.
Here are some pictures of the new girls.
Their names are Cinnamon and Olive

Lovely pasture area. Those ewes are really nice and well filled out! Name sure fits the brown one.

Not so much of that in East Texas eh @Latestarter?

 

[Latestarter]

No, not so much... We have green, and yellow, then nothing. Being from New England originally, I love the varying hues of orange and red mixed with the greens and yellows.

Thanks

I figured these two girls would bond to the other ewes we have but nope, they love the cows and follow them around like a lost puppy they could careless what the other sheep do hahaha!
