On our homestead, two breeds rule the pasture: Dorpers and Katahdins. Both hardy, both productive, and both adorable enough to make you rethink your entire career⦠in a good way.
Dorpers π
- Origin: South Africa

Katahdins π
- Origin: Maine, USA

π‘ Herman Homestead Tip:
If youβre off-grid and thinking of sheep:
- Dorpers = easy meat, low-fuss maintenance
- Katahdins = hardy, friendly, great mothers, and a bonus for small-scale homesteaders
