The Katahdins were due to start lambing today, and these arrived right on schedule. We had a single red ewe lamb this morning, and these twin rams were born just about the time I got home from work. There are 40 Kat ewes that will lamb in the next 2 weeks. These are hairsheep. They get thick, short underwool in the winter, which sheds out to a sleek coarse hair coat in the summer. They are shedding now, and so look raggedy. We notice a lot of birds nests lined with the shed wool.
