Offered for sale as a purebred commercial Katahdin ewe, with ram lamb at side $520

Cute red spotted ewe. 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 a white ram lamb at side. They can go together at this price through end of August; or separately in September when he is weaned. This ram lamb was born late on 5/31, so I don’t know who the sire is, he is being sold commercial, but intact. Note I originally didn’t know who this ewe’s sire was, so her EBVs are just based on dam/ own performance. Early Aug strangely NSIP came through with a sire error pointing to a DNA sire. So her EBVs will update with the mid-August 2026 run.

Offered for sale as a registered Katahdin ewe $300

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.

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.
