Blades Katahdins
Blades Katahdins, Katahdin sheep, West Frankfort, IL, serve Franklin County and Southern Illinois near Marion. Jeremy Blades has been breeding for more than ten years under American Katahdin Hair Sheep Association guidelines, with regular health screenings, fecal parasite monitoring, and an emphasis on parasite resistance.
The flock grazes on rotational pastures complemented by native forages, and each animal receives daily handling to encourage a calm temperament. Lambs are raised in well-ventilated barns with straw bedding and given access to fresh water and trace mineral supplements. Spring lambing includes temperature monitoring and targeted feeding to support healthy growth.
Blades Katahdins emphasizes sustainable practices, combining traditional husbandry with detailed animal health logs to support hardy, adaptable stock. Several clients have noted the flock’s hardiness through winter months with minimal supplemental feeding. A small on-site shearing operation ensures wool byproducts are processed responsibly.
