Events - Eastern Alliance for Production Katahdins

EAPK Events

The Eastern Alliance was formed with the sole purpose to educate the membership on the genetic research and selection to improve the Katahdin breed. The best way to get involved and learn more is to attend our events! Check out this page and our Facebook page regularly for updates as they come about. Fun, food, sheep and education is there anything better?

Range of Lambing Dates:

Gestation in sheep varies from 142 to 152 days with the average being 147 days. Just like people, individual pregnancies can vary, gestation periods of 138 to 159 days are not unheard of. Ewes carrying multiple lambs tend to have shorter gestations while male lambs (and heavy birth weight lambs) are usually carried for longer than female lambs. The form above calculates the lambing date based on a 147 day gestation period.
