I've had them breed at 3 and 4 months of age

Gracias ❤

I was wondering if you had a nice breeding pair for sale, and also if all of your flock are registered? I have been doing tons of research and have decided that I want to bring sheep, preferably Katahdin, to my farmstead for the first time. I only have about 10 1/2 acres, but there is a lot of native grasses and a huge variety of weeds that thrive every year, almost all year long. I can't wait to raise them. Your videos are great and informative! Thank you so much for them.

Thank you!

Love your channel but if possible could you turn down the background music at least 50%.

I thoroughly enjoyed your video and the goat cheese served with your homemade crackers looked delicious, thank you for sharing, watching from Brisbane Australia!!!!!!

How easy/safe are Katahdin rams? I have little kids running around the yard. I've been too scared to get a ram thus far. I've heard it's best to not tame the rams but that seems so backwards.

Hello everyone I like this video it is show the life true every day.

really nice! thank you.

Good work young lady

Wonderful video. Informative and enjoyed hearing about the goats!! The rosemary crackers look amazing! If I don’t hAve sour dough sub yeast?

That is the cutest thing I’ve seen!!!

Oh My Word! Those dogs are so cutie!!

Awwww I love corgis!!!

That’s a beautiful view!

So cute!!

I just got my first three ewes pregnant to a Virginian Tech Study ram. Very excited

What state is your farm what a beautiful place

I appreciate your videos theyre packed full of information always!

Amazing👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I have tried to transplant thistle for my goats but it hasn’t worked so far.

Separating them causes distress. Try plastic nose weaning rings next time. Just stick them in and three weeks later the Ewes will be dry. When weaned they will be more independent and separating them will cause less stress.

The old testament says to keep ten percent of the rams. Then remove the poorest looking ten percent of ewe lambs. Then of the remaining 90% of ewe lambs remove another ten percent. So the flock grows by retaining 81% of Ewes minus Ewes retired for age, health and poor performance. For your information. Pastures take a beating from the sun during the summer months when the days are long. Consider planting trees. In Illinois one might plant Thornless Honey Locust and Swamp White Oak as a couple examples. Silvopasture with 25% shade can do better than open pasture, especially in dry years and the shade helps Ewes with milk production due to reduced heat stress and the lambs gain more weight. Consider installing an Owl nest box. Owls eat rodents that host ticks, attract and feed Bobcats, Coyotes and Pit Vipers. Barn Owls, Screech Owls and Northern Saw-Whet Owls all rely on nesting cavities and due to forestry management practices there are not enough quality nesting cavities to rear chicks. It would be interesting if we could create genetically modified Alpaca fiber baring Sheep. Congress should restore Tribal Treaty Fishing, Hunting and Trapping Rights in Yellowstone Park. Congress should eliminate Protections for man killing man eating Gray Wolves. Coyotes kill 110,000 cattle each year in the lower 48 States plus goats, pigs, poultry, sheep, cats and dogs. Wolves are three times larger than Coyotes. Keep Wolves safe in Zoos. Hope you can gain access to more land and increase your flock size. Good video; Cinematography, audio, scrip and presentation all good. A good crop of cuties.

Your videos are the best and so full of detailed information! Thank you for teaching me so much as a soon to be noob I have alot to learn🙏🏼

Emmeline you are amazing! You have my utmost respect! Wow what a rescue this was and you caught it all on video! And the play by play nothing short of incredible! Youre one tough lady! 💪🏼👏🏼👍🏼🙏🏼

Im so happy to have found your channel. Ive recently considered raising Katahdin sheep for their parasite resistance qualities and really love your introduction of a Painted Sheep for color in some of your flock. Absolutely stunning! Did you introduce a PAINTED RAM into your flock of Katahdin Ewes? Theyre so cute! And what are the pros and cons of this crossing? And do you ship to the northeast?

Well, that was fun. I’m hesitant to get Goats but the more I watch videos like this closer I get thank you.

You are an amazing young woman! New subscriber and I so enjoyed this video! This video is a keeper!

Excellent video! I have a question. Well, two questions, actually. What are the two flowers (the white and purple ones) near your Rosemary patch at the 23:48 mark?

Would like some charted info on what each goat type give a day. Also how many times do you milk a day to get that yield. I'm trying to figure what type of goats to get.

I worked at my university farm and oh my lord the calls we would constantly get for bleeding sheep that were just covered in paint.

So excited to see next spring’s lambs! I just found your channel and I adore your sheep! I’ve got some Katahdin/wool crosses myself and I just love them

Wish we lived closer! We are in southwest Virginia! I would absolutely love a starter flock from you! I’ve kept sheep for about five years and I’m getting away from wool sheep and adore Katahdins specifically the colored ones! And your sheep look so healthy!

Love your advice! I would absolutely love a more in depth explanation video of picking sheep based on conformation. I’ve been working with sheep for 7 years but I still struggle especially when looking at young lambs to make good solid picks based on feet and legs. Love your colorful sheep! I would love to live closer to you so I could scoop up some ewes and rams!

Thank you for the video. We are new to katahdin sheep (and sheep overall) and just got our first ram. The chalk is a great idea because I haven't been able to observe any couplings.

So glad I found you! We are thinking of starting with Katahdins next year. We live a little inland from you, but still on the coastal side of the mountain and was worried about lots of rain in the winter. Do you have a newsletter/waiting list, etc.?

Thank you so much!

I love how colorful these sheep are!

It looks like you run the buck with the does, I was told that the smell of the buck would make the milk bad. Is that correct? Or is it an old wives tale? I just subscribed because of your beautiful soul, I am a 70 year old that still loves to milk by hand. For the same reasons you stated, I love the time with my goats and it my quiet time as well. The morning milking gives me time to plan my day, the evening making calms my mind. Thank you for your beautiful video.

What do you put the rennet into? And what measurements?

I would cave in and give Harrison some of the milk 😂❤

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.

Nice👍

Aloha from Hawaii Big Island Waimea, I loved this video. I was just informed by a AI specialist about this beautiful Fjord breed. I've been looking for a shorter horse breed but, with draft characteristics. They told me to try to research Fjords. I want a horse that is good temperament short like 15 to 14.3 hand size. That can handle bigger riders like 250lbs. Short, stocky, strong and girthy. Strong enough to drag calves for branding. I would like to get more information about this breed and experience. If you would like to share. Mahalo.

Was great to see your goat program. My daughter and I raised purebred Nubian dairy goats. What a joy that was. My beautiful buck was many times Grand Champion in WA and OR. Many of our does and kids were Champions, (even State Champions!) That was 20 years ago! I'm 75 now, no goats, but will always love the years spent with our girls and boys!!!❤ Sweet to see you love and care for your girls so much!!!❤❤❤

Awesome

Amazing video.. earned my sub and share❤

wait until Mike Litoris hears about this.

Another great video!!🤩🤩🤩Love your content, I learn so much from you😊
