The Katahdin is a modern American breed of sheep. It is an easy-care sheep: it grows a hair coat with little wool which moults naturally in the spring, and so does not need to be shorn. It is reared for meat only. It was developed by a breeder named Michael Piel in Maine, and is named for Mount Katahdin in that state.
