Katahdin Lamb
THE MILD LAMB YOU’LL LOVE
We raise the breed of sheep, Katahdin Hair Sheep, here at Sequatchie Cove. This particular breed is the only sheep bred in North America specifically for producing the highest quality meat in our lush and humid environment. Katahdins are particularly hardy and healthy animals that do not require much more than good healthy pastures and the watchful eyes of the Shepherds and guard dogs that keep the predators at bay. We raise our animals with lots of loving attention. We strive to mimic nature in all of our farming practices, so our animals only eat the native grasses and shrubs that grow in our area.
We move them to fresh grass daily alongside our cattle in order to produce a superior forage, and ultimately, the end product for your table. We believe that healthy soil and pastures are essential for providing you with healthy food. These animals, just like our beef, are never given any kind of growth hormones, antibiotics and are never confined to a feedlot for grain finishing…green pastures and open air is all you will find here! Our lamb is processed at around 8 to 12 months of age at a family owned USDA slaughter house in South Pittsburg, TN.
