Offered for sale as a register-able Katahdin ewelamb + register-able ram lamb at side $800

Classic chocolate ewe. Really strong EBVs across the board. Pedigree traces back to Birch Cove (David Copen, Missouri), Thistle Grove Farm ( John Bare, DVM, Iowa) and older PNW genetics via KRK. Ewe’s lambing record starting as a two year old: 2/2, 2/1, 2/1, 2/2, 3/1. This year I wasn’t confident that she could raise triplets so I grafted one onto another ewe, and then one of the remaining was lost to clostridium (not her fault, and this was the cause of the losses in prior years, other than one random stillborn). So she has one ram lamb at side this year. She is a really attentive mama.

EBVs from 2025 lamb crop BWT data. Photo taken May 2025.  She comes with her ram lamb at side, who is registerable, out of PTK 20145. He is beefy and muscular, with brown and black confetti spots. Price good through 6/30.

Offered for sale  two Katahdin grower rams as a set $440

Set of two early-weaned twin rams from a triplet set. Positive EBVs across the board. Sire pulls in genetics from the USDA Research Station in Booneville, AR and some KRK. Dam is mostly local genetic with a little bit of Misty River Farm (Mary Bakko, Moses Lake, now retired) and Thistle Grove Farm (John Bare, DVM, Iowa). This is a cute, healthy set of lambs born to a great mama. For some reason, she became very thin in late pregnancy, perhaps due to an apparent tooth abscess. So she hasn’t had much milk and is basically dried up now that they are 6+ weeks old. I proactively trained them to feed from a creep pen, so they are growing nicely on their own with good nutrition. They will need to be fed high protein creep and ideally some alfalfa until they are at least 90-120 days old (through early August), and ideally learning to graze grass alongside some adult sheep during that period. (You can make them a  small feed pen with “bars” on the sides that are narrow and short, so only they can access the creep feed.)

EBVs from 2025 lamb crop BWT data. Photo taken May 2025.  The ewe sibling is sold, and the rams as listed as unregistered, but intact growers. I could sell with registrations for an additional fee. These lambs are ready to go to a new home today, with the feeding conditions above. Price good through 7/31.

Blocky white ewe with orange markings. Her EBVs are modest but balanced. Pedigree is a mix of my genetics, KRK, Birch Cove (David Coplen, MO) and Misty River Farm (Mary Bakko, Moses Lake, now retired).

Offered for sale as a registered Katahdin yearling ewe $350

Classic white ewe with black brockle face markings. Solid EBVs across the board  tho more modest on prolifacy. Pedigree is a mix of my genetics, KRK, Birch Cove (David Coplen, MO) and Lynn Fahrmeier (MO).

Offered for sale as a register-able Katahdin yearling ewe $325

Framey orange spotted ewe. Solid EBVs across the board  tho more modest on prolifacy. Pedigree is a mix of my genetics, KRK, Thistle Grove Farm (John Bare, DVM, Iowa), and Birch Cove (David Coplen, MO). She had a stillborn lamb this year that may have been caused by dystocia in the middle of the night (unwitnessed), so I don’t fault her for this.
