At our auctions -- you buy it, it's YOURS!! That's same with most....so, if you buy thinking hen but, it crows, too bad. I believe it will be so with these.

The good side? Lamb chops are very good.

Well this auction is run a little bit differently, if they advertise it as one thing, and it ends up being another, they usually try to make it right

BUT, just in case they are unable to make it right, I’ve already listed the extra ram for sale lol

I bought katahdin hair sheep! I went to a livestock auction last night expecting to come home with a bottle calf or two because they had posted on FB that they were going to have a couple but instead I came home with these beauties! Three ewes and a ram! Any info on sheep that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated View attachment 99548View attachment 99547View attachment 99549

I’m not too sure that black and white one is a hair sheep. She looks like a sheared wool sheep. It might be that she’s a hair cross, but just keep an eye on her as she might end up needing to be sheared.

Lots of Katahdin breeders on here... but I do know that many have some wool sheep in the background and many have sheep that will have some wool on them. @Baymule can tell you more about the ones that will have wool and shearing it off the topline, etc. Even our White Texas Dall sheep have some wool sheep in the "woodpile" and we will have an occasional lamb that will have some wool along the back.

The black and white one is a black head Dorper cross, more than likely. They carry a short wool coat, and will shed on the sides leaving a mohawk that can be a matted mess. I have some like that. As I breed sheep with better hair coats, they will be sold.

We attended a Farm Feast yesterday and they featured our farm along with others in a week long “Eat, Drink, Be Local” county wide event. In the weeks final party (yesterday) they ended up using our eggs in one of their recipes and there were 325 ppl attending!! These pics were taken from the menu.

WOW!! That is awesome!!
The country needs more events like that -- bring the people to the farms (like the wineries do!).
