  • Performance. The Baalands is a performance-oriented flock, specializing in the production of replacement ewe lambs and maternal sires. Selection is on the basis of maternal traits: fertility, prolificacy, mothering ability, milk production, udder conformation, longevity, and easy-care (no shearing, good fleshing, minimal deworming and hoof trimming). The goal of the Baalands is to raise and promote Katahdins to be the most efficient and profitable ewe in the sheep industry.

  • Why Katahdins?  Katahdins are a medium-sized hair (shedding) sheep developed in the United States in the 1950's. They do not require shearing, crutching, or tail docking. They are more resistant to internal parasites (worms) than conventional wooled breeds. Katahdins excel in reproductive performance, typically producing lamb crops in excess of 200 percent. They can be crossed with rams of any breed to produce market lambs of the desired type. Katahdins adapt to a wide variety of climates and production systems.
