We finally added a couple goats to the farm. This was a long time coming, but was just one of those things I didn’t feel like dealing with yet. Until it became easy.

We currently have about 60 sheep that we graze across our pastures using intensive rotational grazing… sheep are moved to a new paddock every 2-5 days. Our current breed of choice for East Tennessee is the Katahdin Hair Sheep. They are a meat breed. These sheep have hair that sheds, not wool, so there is no shearing. They were developed in Maine from sheep originating in the Caribbean combined with established British breeds. They have excellent disease resistance, great mothering, and can easily handle the humid conditions of the South.
