- SPRING on North Fork Ranch is in full swing!
Our 24 BEAUTIFUL 2024 Katahdin Hair sheep Lambs are growing up!
It's time for them to go to their new homes, and be weaned off their Moms!
Join us to see if you can pick out the babies from our last two Video!!!
Nice shirt for a Sunday... for any day in all actuality!
Thanks!
Do ram lambs need to be separated from ewe lambs?
They do when they are a little older. In My area as long as I have adult Ewes away from the Rams first of July and Ewe Lambs out in August I'm good. The young Ram lambs start breeding at around 5 months of age. So they are ready to breed their first Fall.
What books would you recommend for someone just getting into raising Katahdin sheep? We just moved and inherited 7 Katahdin's to raise. Thank you.
That is so neat! You are going to love them!!!
I really don't know of any books that focus on hair sheep. I think your best place for info will be the internet. There is a lot of info you can find right here on UA-cam. Also Feel free to ask me questions!!! I would totally enjoy helping you with anything I can! I will be making another video soon, focusing on Fall and breeding. So send me questions!
Is that a field of Buttercup???
Yes, the wild Buttercups are growing like crazy this year....Pretty, but not a good weed! They are toxic to sheep if they eat too many
@@NorthFork-Ranch loved your video! We are getting our FIRST two Katahdin ewe lambs in July. You make it look so easy...and yes, Buttercup is everywhere!
@@RobynSeifert Thank you so much!!
Congrats!!! You are going to love them! They really are super easy! One of the easiest animals we raise!
One tip is to get you new girls nice and tame as babies, once you start with tame sheep, the flock will grow learning to be tame and that makes life SO much easier!
