Meet the Flock

These are the Katahdins on our pasture in Lebanon, Oregon. Most are ewes — the breeding heart of the farm — alongside a working ram and the season's lambs. Each one earns their keep on grass and behaves more like a dog than livestock when there's a scratch behind the ears on offer.

Stanley

Stanley

He takes good care of his girls, is a perfect gentleman; protects us from assertive teenage rams and weathers. Allows us to give the girls attention even if they are in heat. If he puts his head down at us, which rarely happens, he gets "time out". He will surrender immediately when we get his halter. He is a dream ram and we are lucky to have him. Thank you Karen.

SWEET PEA

(Penelope's twin) Right after we got her she was injured and it was difficult to treat her wounds. After she healed we couldn't get near her and that lasted until she gave birth to her first lamb. Now she likes to be touched and is very cooperative when we have to handle her lambs.

Penelope

(Sweet Pea's twin). She and her sister are nothing alike. Penelope has been friendly from the time we got them. She is first in line for attention. She was a wonderful "Auntie" to the other ewe's babies.
