Offered for sale as a commercial ewe/pet $250

Smaller-framed, dappled chocolate ewe. She is a calm and loyal mama, but has a very weak milk supply. I’ve not observed mastitis in her, either she has had a low-grade case or is just generally a poor milker. She also doesn’t hold condition well during nursing, whereas some poor-milking ewes stay really fat because they’re not putting much energy into milk. She could be bred again and may do ok on a small farm in a high input system (alfalfa and grain feeding year-round), though be prepared to bottle supplement or orphan-rear her lambs. Otherwise, she will make a sweet and pretty pasture pet.

Photo taken May 2020.  EBVs from 2020 lamb crop birth data. Her lambs have been mostly orphan-reared and are basically weaned, so she can go to a new home any time.

Feminine buckskin ewe. Good growth and prolificacy, a little lower on milk, but that’ll be made up for by a vigorous, multi-lamb crop each year.

Really nicely put together white ewe. Strong prolificacy and survival, lots of triplets in this pedigree. More moderate on growth and milk, but these are made up for by all the extra, surviving lambs this girl and her daughters are likely to give you!  Pedigree brings in Birch Cove Farm (David Coplen, Missouri), Thistle Grove Farm (John Bare, Iowa), Aspen Mountain Farm (Aileen Scott, Montan) and White Post Farm (East Coast, now retired). Take advantage of my significant investment bringing good genetics out west!

Cute fawn, freckle-faced ewe. Really nice EBVs across the board, lots of triplets in this pedigree and NLB score, along with good growth, survival and positive milk. This poor girl was quietly laying down in labor behind some bushes right in the middle of the day, and I missed that she had a shoulder-locked lamb until it was too late! So easy to pull, if only I would have caught it in time. 🙁 So, this loss was not really her fault and I have confidence she’ll be a good mother from here on out, she comes from very maternal lines.
