Katahdin Sheep Sheep Sheep Jacksonville, OR

We are excited to introduce these beautiful Katahdin Sheep to Sanctuary One!!

When Colleen, our Animal Care Director, received a call from a fellow rescue that eight young and healthy sheep were headed to slaughter she committed to taking them in on the spot! The sheep found themselves in trouble when they would not stay inside their electric fencing and the owners wanted them off the property asap. Wildwood Farm Sanctuary and Preserve provided transportation for the sheep when enough of their committed donors contributed to the cost.

These sheep arrived scared but have had time to decompress and trust humans, they are now friendly and seek human interaction. There are 5 wethers and 3 ewes. We would like them to be adopted together as they are a bonded flock. They could be adopted in pairs.

Katahdin Sheep are hair sheep and shed without being sheared, so they are low-maintenance pets. They vary somewhat in the type and amount of fiber in their coats, though it’s preferred that sheep be completely free of woolly fibers after shedding. The coat can be any color or pattern.

These sheep will be adopted as pets ONLY and a home check and reputable references are a must.

Put in your application today if you can give these amazing sheep a safe and loving forever home!
