I actully just drove to Hebron 2 days ago to sell ducklings to a person!

Seems like I saw a post on the Muscovy thread early this year from someone in Hebron. Sill a bit of a drive for you but better than Central or Southern IN! My neighbor has a good flock of Muscovy from my originals. I plan to restart next year from his eggs.

Does anyone on the Indiana thread raise Katahdin sheep?

Hoping to find a couple feeder lambs this year then deciding if I want to do them in the future.

@racinchickins had discussed sheep at one point, hopefully he may have time to respond. He might have some good resources to refer to.

So much yes.

They have some 4wk salmon Favorelles (got two), partridge Cochins, jersey Giants and a couple others. Then they had EE chicks, blue silkies and at least 5 other breeds of fresh chicks. Supposedly all pullets and not a bad price. I got a sign for my coop 40% off, a sticker for my car and the two favorelles. I'll definitely be going back to get some oats and honey. Their resident cat is a charmer too.

This is a tough one for me to sex, and I'm not very familiar with sexing silkies. All pics are the same silkie. Hatched mid April = 9.5 weeks old. Please click on & enlarge pics.

Thanks, @Nyla for checking! But, unfortunately, wrong breed. The Katahdin are hair sheep and those are mostly Shetland.

@racinchickins
I'm probably too late for feeder lambs this year...but definitely wanted to try the Katahdins.

I have thought about sheep, but lack fencing for them at the moment, so I haven't pursued it. Plus we just got four American Guinea Hogs and we are working on getting them setup on pasture. learning a lot about electric fencing at the moment(I do the electric netting with chickens, but putting up electric fence is a little more figure it out on your own than that.) Sheep are still a want down the road though.

After we finish putting up the solar panels, plant the new row of grapevines, finish mowing the orchard, train the pigs to electric fence, clean the birds nest out of the gutters, etc..... you know how it goes.
