Yes — Katahdins are one of the lower-maintenance sheep breeds. They shed their wool annually, have natural parasite resistance, breed out of season (year-round lamb production), and require minimal handling. Excellent for small farms transitioning into livestock.
Livestock-breeds pages cover Katahdin and similar hair sheep breeds.
