Our lamb are raised on the green pastures of our solar farm according to Animal Welfare Approved (AWA) standards and without the use of antibiotics.
The solar panels protect our sheep from the summer heat and winter rain, creating a nutrient rich diet from diverse native vegetation. The result is a healthier and happier animal.
About Our Sheep and Lamb
The Montgomery Sheep Farm has been improving its flock of primarily Katahdin sheep since 2016. Our farm is Animal Welfare Approved (AWA) and we have approximately 300 breeding ewes. We have been putting selection pressure on the ewes as well as upgrading our Rams to improve the genetics of our flock. We have detailed records of all sheep and lamb on the farm and are preparing to enter the NSIP program this year.
The Katahdin breed is a wool-less, easy care, meat type sheep, naturally tolerant of climatic extremes and capable of high performance in a wide variety of environments. The purpose of the breed is to efficiently produce meat.
The covering of the Katahdin does not require shearing and is preferably completely free of permanent wooly fibers. The coat can be any color or pattern.
Katahdins are a heavy-muscled, medium-sized breed. They demonstrate adaptability by performing well in areas varying in geography, temperature, and humidity, feed and forage resources, and management systems. Ewes are easy lambers, and exhibit strong maternal instincts and good milking ability. They possess high potential for early puberty, fertility, and lamb survivability. Mature ewes often have twins, and occasionally triplets. A well-managed and selected flock should produce a 200% lamb crop.
Lambs grow and mature rapidly to an acceptable market weight range and produce relatively lean and well muscled carcasses with a very mild flavor.
