Offered for sale as a purebred, record-able Katahdin ewelamb $300

This is one chubby bunny white ewelamb!  She is the result of an accidental breeding last August, so any of my sixty-some ram lambs here at that time would have been candidate sires. She is purebred, but only recordable at 50%. Her dam traces back to Birch Cove (David Copen, Missouri) and my own genetics.

Photo taken May 2024 .  EBVs from 2024 BWT data. (EBVs are lower than expected because the sire component averaged in has zeroes.) She can be weaned and ready to go to a new home in June.

Feminine red ewelamb.  She is the result of an accidental breeding last August, so any of my sixty-some ram lambs here at that time would have been candidate sires. She is purebred, but only recordable at 50%. Her dam traces back to Thistle Grove Farm (John Bare DVM Iowa) and my own genetics.

Offered for sale as a purebred, record-able Katahdin ewelamb $350

Classic white ewe.  She is the result of an accidental breeding last August, so any of my sixty-some ram lambs here at that time would have been candidate sires. She is purebred, but only recordable at 50%. Her dam traces back to Birch Cove (David Copen, Missouri) and my own genetics. A super cool factoid: she is homozygous for the myostatin “double muscling” gene that’s been brought into our gene pool from Texel upgrades. I can already see the difference in the beefiness of her back end, compared to her carrier sibling.

Photo taken May 2024 (she is the one on the right, pictured with her twin sib).  EBVs from 2024 BWT data. (EBVs are lower than expected because the sire component averaged in has zeroes.)She will be weaned and ready to go to a new home in June.

Offered for sale as a purebred, register-able Katahdin yearling ewe $925 with twin ewelambs at side

Classic white ewe. Solid EBVs, she should be a strong producer of butcher lambs and replacement ewes. A mix of Birch Cove (David Coplen, Missouri), Karen Kenagy (Oregon) and an old White Post ram way back there!

Photo taken May 2024.  EBVs from 2024 BWT data. She has twin ewelambs at side, born 4/22/24. They were born during cleanup ram timeframe so not sure of sire. Selling them as commercial/ 50% record-able, but for an added price I could DNA test them and determine sire so they could be registered. Sold as a set at this price through 6/30. Lambs will be weaned in August and can go separately.
