Offered for sale as a purebred commercial Katahdin ewe, exposed $400

Cute red spotted ewe. I don’t know who here sire is, as her dam bred late and DNA did not match to any sires I have in the database, so it was some other random ram here in December. Dam’s pedigree traces back to KRK (Karen Kenagy, Oregon) and Birch Cove Farm (David Coplen, MO). Really nice EBVs across the board. Caveat: 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. She will make a fine productive ewe on a small farm, and bred to a diverse sire, this issue may never recur in her lambs.

Photo taken May 2026.  EBVs from 2026 crop birth data. She has blood tested positive for pregnancy in Feb and April and is starting to bag up, so I suspect she’s due in June. Price will go up once she has lambs at side.

Offered for sale as a registered Katahdin ewe with 2 ewelambs at side $850

Sturdy white ewe with strong growth, prolificacy and milk scores. Her parasite resistance is not so good, which is why she’s dropping out of my system. She is line bred on a sire I used a ton from Birch Cove (David Coplen, MO). He has Texel way back in his pedigree, and you can still really see the look in her head type Lambing record starting as a yearling: 1/1, 2/2, 2/2.

She has two register-abl white ewelambs at side, sired by KMC 24127, and they can go together for this price before the end of June, after that the price will go up. Photo from May 2026.

Offered for sale as a registered Katahdin ewe with 2 ram lambs at side $740

Robust white ewe with strong growth, prolificacy and milk scores. Her parasite resistance is not so good, which is why she’s dropping out of my system. Pedigree is almost completely novel out-of-state genetics, including Birch Cove (David Coplen, MO), the USDA research station in Booneville, AR, and Thistle Grove Farm (John Bare DVM, Iowa). Lambing record starting as a 2 year old: 1/1, 2/2, 2/2, 2/2.

She has 2 ram lambs at side, one white and one red spotted, and they can go together for this price before the end of June, after that the price will go up. Photo from May 2026.

Offered for sale as a record-able Katahdin ewe with ram lamb at side $520

Tall white yearling ewe with some tan freckling. Her dam bred early while she was still with a large group of ram lambs, not all of which had DNA in the system, and DNA did not come back with a match for her. Dam’s sire is from New York (Gibraltar Farm, Etienne and Isabelle Richards), and dam traces back to Birch Cove (David Coplen, MO) and Misty River Farm (Mary Bakko, Moses Lake, Now retired).

She has a white ram lamb at side and they can go together for this price before the end of June, after that the price will go up. Photo from May 2026.

Offered for sale as a commercial  Katahdin ewe with ewelamb at side $575

Pretty white yearling ewe. Solid EBVs across the board, though weaker on parasite resistance. Sire traces back to USDA ram from Booneville AR, Lynn Fahrmeier (MO), Aspen Mountain (Aileen Scott, M T) and Birch Cove (David Coplen, MO). Caveat: 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.
