South Central Katahdin Association (SCKA) - Katahdin Hair Sheep
South Central Katahdin Association (SCKA) is a regional group of Katahdin hair sheep breeders covering states from Texas to Georgia –
including Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas,
and Virginia. Each representative of our association is a member of Katahdin Hair Sheep International (KHSI). Formed in 1999 in New
Iberia, LA, what started with a small group of Katahdin hair sheep breeders representing the Gulf Coast states has now grown to a
membership in these fourteen states.
The goal of the South Central Katahdin Association is threefold:
•
To provide a marketing alliance for all members of the SCKA,
•
To provide fellowship for our association, and
•
To assist breeders of the Katahdin Hair Sheep in the sale and promotion of
the breed.
Thank you for visiting our website! And a note: If a visitor contacts one of our
members from our site, please remember that all sales agreements are
between you and the individual selling their sheep.
President’s Message
Hello All!
Hope we have winter behind us and plenty of lambs running around. I want to
welcome new and returning members. It is because of members we can do the
things we do. Because of your dedication we were able to have our annual
meeting and a Feild day. We are planning to have a Feild day again this year in
October! Mississippi State has had three advisor committee meetings across the
state and a Big small ruminitis day in Starkville, MS. I am proud to say SCKA board
members have attended each event, way to go team! As you all know our annual
meeting in Fayetteville is just around the corner in May. See our events section for
full details; it's going to be a blast! I can't say enough about our board members,
they are the backbone of the SCKA. I encourage everyone to check our website often and our Facebook page. I look
forward to seeing y'all in Fayetteville. Safe Travels to All!
From the white barn your president Jim Hill

Vice President’s Message
Greetings everyone. I hope those currently engaged in lambing are experiencing a successful lambing season. I trust the snow
storms, particularly in the upper Midwest, weren't too harsh on the livestock. Down here in the southeast, we're enjoying a
pleasant warming trend. Spring is making its presence known – daffodils are in bloom, martin scouts have made their
appearance, and the pastures are taking on a green hue.
Our annual meeting and gathering will be held May 17th and 18th in Fayetteville, AR. It seems to be shaping up very nicely with
our large number of sponsors and great topics that will be covered over the two day event. I would like to thank our board
member in Arkansas that has put a great amount of time and effort in planning this event. We look forward to seeing everyone
that will be able to join us at what I think is going to be a great event!
Angeliki Polles, Vice President, SCKA
