These same sheep are instantly on the alert when they see one of our Corgis or Border Collies. Therefore, he would only kill a predator persistent enough to attack the sheep in the face of 110 pounds of Livestock Guardian Dog. He is gentle and loving with our children and every smaller animal on the farm, from the Corgis to the smallest chick or kitten. We failed the course. Although Katahdins are considered to be a meat breed, we are really baaaaa-d farmers.
Every sheep here has a name and a personality.
We do not eat our sheep. In fact, the better we know them, the more we love sheep for their gentle trusting personalities. We are not planning to breed Katahdins, so we do not keep a ram of our own.
