Pictures of our Katahdin lambs are posted on this page as they are born, so check back frequently! Lambing season starts Jan 25, 2025. Sire and availability status are notated with each lambs picture.
For 2025 we bred 3 rams. You can read more about each of them on our Rams page. This year, we bred a large portion of our flock to Sol to produce a large quantity of lambs with the highly sought after spotting. His first lamb crop arrived last spring, and we were very pleased with them.
At this point, all of our expected 2025 Katahdin ewe lambs are sold. We are accepting additions to our waitlist and we do still have some ram lambs available.
If you see something you like or if you are interested in purchasing spring 2025 or spring 2026 lambs, please contact us. We are currently accepting deposits on available 2025 lambs. We will begin accepting deposits for lambs from our 2026 crop in September, and send out a reminder email to our waitlist at that time.
2025 Katahdin Lambs
Lambing season is underway, and so far we’ve been a little disappointed in our color! Almost all of our lambs have come out either black or white, not black & white. The ewes are getting too much spotting to the point they are pure white and the rams not enough spotting! And from ewe/ram combinations that have produced spotted lambs in the past. Such is the mystery and frustration of breeding for color in sheep. Nonetheless, you can rest assured that all of these lambs have spotting genes and can produce spotted lambs!
2024 Katahdin Lambs
2024 was the year of black lambs!
The fun (or frustrating) part of breeding for spotting is that it is highly variable and extremely unpredictable. The same ewe and ram combination can produce a wide variation in the amount of spotting produced from year to year. This year our flock has decided we need more black! These lambs are all still carrying the spotting genes even though they aren’t doing a good job of displaying it. They are capable of producing spotted lambs.
Our new black ram, Midnight, has produced some very nice looking lambs. All of his lambs have been mostly black with white markings rather than spots. They are very solid and are growing fast.
Our spotted ram Sol is producing beautifully spotted lambs as expected. He has also produced 3 mostly black lambs. His lambs are also nice solid, fast growing lambs.
