Offered for sale as a registerable Katahdin yearling ewe with ewelamb at side $550

Feminine darkĀ  chocolate ewelamb with a white star. Strong on growth, survival and milk and moderate on prolificacy, for those who like to avoid triplets. Her pedigree is a blend of my own and local genetics, plus Birch Cove (David Coplen, Missouri), Misty River Farm (Mary Bakko, Moses Lake, now retired) and a Sue Hunter ewe.

EBVs from the 2024 lamb crop birth data. Photo taken May 2023.Ā  She is NSIP Maternal and Stud Certified. She has a chocolate colored ewelamb at side. This was the result of an accidental breeding with a large mob of rams. I will DNA test the lamb and pass along the sire info it itā€™s identifiable, otherwise the lambs can be recorded as 50% and upgraded (I hope to know by late April, as the turnaround time for NSIP DNA is slow).

Offered for sale as a registerable Katahdin yearling ewe $300

Tall, full-bodied white ewelamb with black dots. Strong on growth, survival and milk and moderate on prolificacy, for those who like to avoid triplets. Her pedigree is a blend of my own and local genetics, plus Birch Cove (David Coplen, Missouri), Misty River Farm (Mary Bakko, Moses Lake, now retired) and a Sue Hunter ewe.

EBVs from the 2023 lamb crop EPWWT data. Photo taken May 2023.Ā  She is NSIP Maternal and Stud Certified. She was exposed to a ram last fall/winter. In Feb preg tests, she was noted as a “recheck” which likely means she is open, and thus will grow out and start her breeding career as a two year old. (If she is bred, she could lamb any time between April and July, as I run rams with the ewes all winter after the official breeding season.) See notes on bred ewelambs here.

Offered for sale as a purebred, register-able Katahdin ram lamb, $375

Nicely put together white ram with freckles and a large shoulder spot. He has moderate but consistent EBVs.Ā  A mix of local, Birch Cove (David Coplen, Missouri) and Misty River Farm (Mary Bakko, Moses Lake, now retired) genetics. This guy will make a very good, standard sire for both meat lambs and replacement daughters for a small flock that doesn’t need a higher powered NSIP ram.

Offered for sale as a purebred, register-able Katahdin ram lamb, $375

Big bodied white ram with some black face dots. Strong growth, survival and milk scores, but more modest on prolificacy for those who don’t love triplets.Ā  A mix of local, Birch Cove (David Coplen, Missouri), Thistle Grove Farm (John Bare, DVM Iowa), and Misty River Farm (Mary Bakko, Moses Lake, now retired) genetics. A note of caution: his birthweight score is quite high, which is a common artifact with high growth metric rams. If you are a hands-off lambing operation or you feedĀ  your ewes really well during pregnancy, you may want to consider a ram with a lower BWT value. Note: this ram is horned, but I have him listed anyway, at a discount, because he has very strong EBVs and and make a great terminal sire. The horned/poll genes tend to only crop up in a small number of progeny, and if not preferred, those can go in the butcher channel.

Photo taken July 2023. EBVs from 2023 EPWWT data. Ram is NSIP Stud and Maternal Certified. He will be weaned mid-August and ready to start breeding right away!

Solid red ram. Really strong EBVs across the board.Ā  A mix of local and Birch Cove (David Coplen, Missouri) genetics. Let this beefcake take your growth, prolificacy, survival and milk to the next level! Note that this ram is line-bred on the grandsire side. Also a note of caution: his birthweight score is quite high, which is a common artifact with high growth metric rams.
