Offered for sale as a register-able Katahdin ewelamb $300

Cute chocolate ewelamb. Positive EBVs across the board, stronger on maternal side than growth.  Sire pulls in genetics from the USDA Research Station in Booneville, AR and some local genetics. Dam’s sire is from New York (Gibraltar Farm) and traces back to Birch Cove in Missouri. A nice, diverse pedigree that spans the nation in roots.

Offered for sale as a register-able Katahdin ewelamb ewe $300a

Sturdy white ewelamb with a tan freckle face. Solid EBVs across the board, very strong maternal traits. Sire was born on the US Sheep Research Station in Dubois ID; and his dam sources back to US Meat Animal Research Station stock from Lincoln, NE. This is hardy range stock. Dam is  an outcross of Birch Cove (David Coplen, MO, now retired) and a ram borrowed from the USDA Research Station in Booneville, AR. This is almost a completely out-of-state pedigree to bring in some fresh genetics!

Offered for sale as a recordable-able Katahdin ram lamb $400

Chunky solid chocolate ram lamb. Dam is from local genetics I don’t know the sire as this ram’s dam was bred by a cleanup ram and I didn’t DNA test him. So he is 50% recordable, though purebred Katahdin. His EBVs will be less accurate since there is no sire data, so his dam’s and his own data is average with zeros. But he should be a solid sire for someone who just needs a ram to breed a few ewes.

Offered for sale as a register-able Katahdin ram lamb $425

Classic framey white ram amb. Dam is from local genetics plus a distant Thistle Grove Farm (John Bare, DVM, Iowa). The sire is special: I was able to trade some proven rams for two top-performing ram lambs off the range at the USDA Sheep Research Station in Dubois, ID. Their sire is KRK. These guys’ dams came from the US Meat Animal Research Station (US MARC) research flock in Lincoln, NE. These sheep have been raised in an extensive, low-input system that’s a true test of hardiness and wiliness (they live in wolf country and are ranged on thousands of acres in large bands with guardian dogs). So I’m excited to see what these genetics do in our system in the PNW.  This is a unique opportunity to capture some pretty diverse genetics and some of the magic gold dust from MARC, the home of the “Easycare” composite hair sheep.
