Katahdin Sheep are a breed of hair sheep developed in the United States. They are a small, but growing element of the sheep industry in North America. The Katahdin breed originated at the Piel Farm in North Central Maine under the study of Michael Piel.
Katahdin Sheep work very well in a variety of production situations as a low-maintenance, easy care sheep. They are significantly resistant to parasites compared to other wool sheep, are naturally tolerant of climatic extremes and are capable of high performance in a wide variety of environments. The covering of the Katahdin does not require shearing.
Katahdin hair sheep provide a practical option to producers who are primarily interested in raising a meat animal, with great lamb vigor, mothering ability and do not want to shear.
