Welcome!
This site is to promote our breeding programs of our Karakul (Fat-Tail) Sheep and our families Standard Wirehaired Dachshunds and English Setters! NO Lhasa Apso!!
My name is Catlin Cahill. I started raising livestock as an FFA project in high school in Southern California. During my career in FFA I had several Market and Breeding Champion animals in sheep, pigs, and both market and dairy goats, as well as showing market steers. I was also was very successful in my breeding programs of my sheep, pigs, and dairy goats.
Dairy Goats were the main focus of our herd. From our first 2 goats which were orginally a Saanen and an Alpine, we had increased in size but still tried to keep only a small herd of under 30 goats. We were very sad that we had to down size our Saanens, the Queens, out of herd in 2011! And then eventually our Alpines in the spring of 2012. In 2009 we participated on DHIR and had two Alpines ending up in the Top 10 for Production, as well as participating in Linear Appraisal with ADGA for 6 years. We had usually showed at 5-6 fairs a year and 6-8 local goat shows. We do miss the goats but really none of the work that went with them!
Karakuls were a new addition to the Candy Lily herd in 2007! I had orginally started with Dorset sheep but was won over by the Karakul breed after purchasing a single ewe from a friend of ours at a fair and we loved her personality. We are still learning about using their fiber and we are still a very small flock! However we have had 2 Best in Show Rams, as well as several Champions Rams and Ewes that were all home bred!
Our Main Fairs we attend are San Diego County Fair, Alamenda County Fair, OC County Fair and the Ventura County Fair! But we have attended the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival and the Califorina State Fair!
