Offered for sale as a purebred pet/commercial Katahdin ewe, $275

Cute red spotted ewe. Dam’s pedigree traces back to KRK (Karen Kenagy, Oregon) and Birch Cove Farm (David Coplen, MO). Sire traces back to Gibraltar Farm in New York, plus local genetics. Really nice EBVs across the board. Two caveats: this ewe  had entropion (inverted eyelids) as a lamb, which is lowly heritable, so I’m selling her unregistered as a commercial ewe and discounted. When these crop up, they are easily fixed with a penicillin injection below the eyelid, but it’s an inconvenience to deal with this, so we try to breed away from it. Additionally, she has developed subclinical mastitis on one side as her lamb was at weaning age, so will likely only be able to raise 1-2 lambs in the future. So selling her at cull price. She could be bred again, but be prepared to potentially bottle feed. Otherwise she would make a good pet or herding dog training flock member.
