The Katahdin is an improved breed of hair sheep, the first hair breed to meet North American industry standards for meat. The Katahdin is a cross between a variety of meat breeds, the Suffolk, St. Croix Hair sheep from the Virgin Islands, the Wiltshire Horn and several other sheep. They were developed in the 1950’s by amateur geneticist Michael Piel and take their name from Mt. Katahdin in Maine where the Piel farm was located. We have noticed some local farmers mixing their Katahdin sheep with Dorpers, we do not do this.
The Katahdin is an easy-care, low-maintenance meat-type sheep that is naturally tolerent of all seasons. One of the most outstanding characteristics of the Katahdin is its natural resistance to internal parasites. The Katahdin is one of the most popular breeds of registered sheep in the U.S.
