Sheep and Lambs

Last week, our farm entered a new chapter. We added to our farm eight ewe lambs.(Several people have misheard me and asked “Used lambs?”)

They are about 4 or 5 months old. We bought Khatadin sheep because we didn’t want to have to deal with shearing them. Instead of the familiar wooly coats of most sheep, Khatadins have hair. They shed their hair so there’s no need for shearing.

These sheep are largely raised for meat. While we’ve never eaten lamb or mutton, we’re not opposed to it. However, the biggest reason we bought sheep was to clean up weeds and broad-leafed plants on the farm.
