Offered for sale as a register-able Katahdin ewelamb $300

Classic white ewelamb. Dam hearkens to local genetics plus a USDA ram from the Booneville Research Station, precious genetics now since that flock may be divested. Sire was procured from the USDA Sheep Research Station in Dubois, ID; a very austere range environment where survival is a real achievement. This ram was one of the top weight performers of his peer group.

EBVs from 2026 lamb crop BWT data. Photo taken April 2026. Her dam had triplets and has had past mastitis and could not raise three, so I am orphan-rearing this one. She took to the teat bucket right away, so is self-feeding. $250 if purchased while still needing milk, before 5/17; or $300 thereafter. She will be weaned from milk early June, but will still need to be on creep feed through mid August.

Offered for sale as a record-able Katahdin ewelamb $275

Cute chocolate yearling ewe. Her dam must have lost a pregnancy and re-bred late, as she was born in July. I don’t know who her sire is, so she’s purebred, but record-able as 50% (NSIP DNA tests from July may eventually turn up, but right now are MIA). Dam genetics are from out-of-state lines, USDA Research Station in Booneville, AR and Birch Cove (David Coplen, MO, new retired).

EBVs from 2025 lamb crop EPWWT data. Photo taken April 2026. She blood tested open in February (smaller yearlings often don’t lamb here) and is ready to grow out and breed this fall to lamb as a 2-year-old. Note she has slight ear damage from ear tag tearing.

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

Classic white ewe. Solid EBVs across the board. Sire is an outcross of Birch Cove (David Coplen, MO, now retired) and Lynn Fahrmeier (MO). Dam traces back to a ram borrowed from the USDA Research Station in Booneville, AR and my local genetics.

EBVs from 2025 lamb crop EPWWT data. Photo taken March 2206.

Note: she has (healed) torn ears from ripping her tags out, which is a small cosmetic issue.

Offered for sale as a proven, registered Katahdin ram lamb $500

This standard-framed, mature red-spotted ram has 108 progeny in the system over four years, so his maternal traits are starting to fix in the system with female progeny performance. Where he shines is in parasite resistance, maternal milk and growth. He is a little low on NLB, for those folks who don’t prefer so many triplets and quads. This is a complete out of state pedigree, tracing back to many of the NSIP greats- Birch Cove, Fahrmeier, Newton, and Ginapp. Let this guy bring some long-term benefit to your flock in parasite resistance and immune function, as well as strong growth and milk. He will make a difference in your replacement ewes!

EBVs from 2025 lamb crop EPWWT data. Photo taken January 2026. He is ready go to to a new home and start breeding in 2026!

Offered for sale as a register-able Katahdin ewelamb ewe $300a

Sturdy white ewelamb with a tan freckle face. Solid EBVs across the board, very strong maternal traits. Sire was born on the US Sheep Research Station in Dubois ID; and his dam sources back to US Meat Animal Research Station stock from Lincoln, NE. This is hardy range stock. Dam is  an outcross of Birch Cove (David Coplen, MO, now retired) and a ram borrowed from the USDA Research Station in Booneville, AR. This is almost a completely out-of-state pedigree to bring in some fresh genetics!

Offered for sale as a recordable-able Katahdin ram lamb $400

Chunky solid chocolate ram lamb. Dam is from local genetics I don’t know the sire as this ram’s dam was bred by a cleanup ram and I didn’t DNA test him. So he is 50% recordable, though purebred Katahdin. His EBVs will be less accurate since there is no sire data, so his dam’s and his own data is average with zeros. But he should be a solid sire for someone who just needs a ram to breed a few ewes.

EBVs from 2025 lamb crop EPWWT data. Photo taken September 2025. He is weaned and ready to go to a new home and start breeding today!

Offered for sale as a register-able Katahdin ram lamb $425

Classic framey white ram amb. Dam is from local genetics plus a distant Thistle Grove Farm (John Bare, DVM, Iowa). The sire is special: I was able to trade some proven rams for two top-performing ram lambs off the range at the USDA Sheep Research Station in Dubois, ID. Their sire is KRK. These guys’ dams came from the US Meat Animal Research Station (US MARC) research flock in Lincoln, NE. These sheep have been raised in an extensive, low-input system that’s a true test of hardiness and wiliness (they live in wolf country and are ranged on thousands of acres in large bands with guardian dogs). So I’m excited to see what these genetics do in our system in the PNW.  This is a unique opportunity to capture some pretty diverse genetics and some of the magic gold dust from MARC, the home of the “Easycare” composite hair sheep.
