The above is a chart showing sheep that are in short supply or endangered in Britain. As you can see, Katahdins aren't even mentioned. Of course, they are far from rare in North America, but in England-correct me if I am wrong-I don't believe there are any at all.
Interestingly, Shropshires, which have been the subject of recent controversy regarding their carrying a gene that makes them susceptible to Scrapie, are right at the bottom of the list with numbers of 1500-3000, which makes them far from endangered. There are also quite a few of them in the United States, although not so many here in Canada.
