Offered for sale as a purebred commercial Katahdin ewe, with ram lamb at side $5200

Cute red spotted ewe. I don’t know who here sire is, as her dam bred late and DNA did not match to any sires I have in the database, so it was some other random ram here in December. 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 July; or separately in August when he is weaned. This ram lamb was born late so I don’t know who the sire is, he is being sold commercial, but intact.

Offered for sale as a registered Katahdin ewe with 2 ewelambs at side $850

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.

She has two register-abl white ewelambs at side, sired by KMC 24127, and they can go together for this price before the end of June, after that the price will go up. Photo from May 2026.

Offered for sale as a registered Katahdin ewe with 2 ram lambs at side $740

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. Pedigree is almost completely novel out-of-state genetics, including Birch Cove (David Coplen, MO), the USDA research station in Booneville, AR, and Thistle Grove Farm (John Bare DVM, Iowa). Lambing record starting as a 2 year old: 1/1, 2/2, 2/2, 2/2.

She has 2 ram lambs at side, one white and one red spotted, and they can go together for this price before the end of June, after that the price will go up. Photo from May 2026.

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

Cute red spotted ewe. Pedigree traces back to Birch Cove Farm (David Coplen, MO), the USDA Research Station in Booneville, AR, and Gibraltar Farm in New York (Etienne and Isabel Richards) plus my/local genetics. 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.

Offered for sale as a purebred register-able Katahdin ewe with ram lamb at side $570

Cute red ewe with white markings and a black beauty mark. Pedigree traces back to Birch Cove Farm (David Coplen, MO), the USDA Research Station in Booneville, AR, and Gibraltar Farm in New York (Etienne and Isabel Richards) plus my/local genetics. Really nice EBVs across the board.

Photo taken May 2026.  EBVs from 2026 crop birth data. This ewe can go with her ram lamb as commercial before the end of June  (she bred late so I do not know the sire of this lamb). Or she can be sold solo when her lamb is weaned in August.

Offered for sale as a purebred Katahdin ewe with twin ewelambs at side $850

Very productive four year old ewe, with red tick markings. Most of her pedigree is out-of-state; Birch Cove Farm (David Coplen, MO) and Thistle Grove Farm (John Bare, DVM, Iowa). I’m dropping her because of her high FEC score, but she is otherwise very productive with good growth and milk scores and very high prolificacy. I don’t normally let ewes raise quadruplets on their own, but this girl has. She was raising triplets and let a 4th lamb move in with them and she was able to feed them all, on grass alone, in 2025. Lambing record starting as a two year old:  1/1, 2/1, 3/4, 2/2.

Photo taken May 2026.  EBVs from 2026 crop birth data. This ewe can go with her register-able twin ewelambs (both white, sired by KMC 24127) at side before end of June for $900. Price will go up after that and/or when her lambs are weaned.

Offered for sale as a purebred Katahdin ewe with ram lamb at side $495

This is a good 7 YO mama who still has quite a few productive years left. Red with white tail and hind socks, clean shedder. Her sire traces back to the now-retired Misty River line and Birch Cove Farm in Missouri. Dam traces back to Thistle Grove Farm (John Bare DVM, Iowa) and has a Dorper way back in her maternal pedigree. She has positive growth and milk scores, more modest on prolificacy and not strong on parasite resistance. Her overall scores and index are a little low, which is why she’s finally dropping out of my system as mature gal; so she is discounted. If she doesn’t sell I’ll breed her again this fall, as she is still productive. Lambing record starting as a two year old:  1/1, 1/1, 1/1, 2/2, 1/1.

Photo taken May 2026.  EBVs from 2026 crop birth data. This ewe can go with her red spotted ram lamb (unregistered, could come register-able for a  higher fee) at side before end of June for $495. Price will go up after that and/or when her lamb is weaned.

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

Cute white ewelamb. Dam hearkens to local genetics plus the USDA Research Station in Booneville, AR. Sire is from North Carolina State University and captures genetics from Roxanne Newton (GA), Lee Wright (VA) and the USDA Research Station. A very diverse pedigree from around the US. This girl has more modest EBVs for growth, parasite resistance, and milk, but her prolificacy is strong.

EBVs from 2026 lamb crop BWT data. Photo taken April 2026. This lamb’s dam doesn’t seem to have enough milk for two, probably due to past mastitis, and this lamb was happy to befriend the teat bucket and become an orphan-rear.  $250 if purchased while still needing milk, before 6/20; or $300 thereafter. She will need to be on creep feed through mid August after which she can be weaned onto pasture alone.

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 May 2026. Her dam had triplets and has had past mastitis and could not raise three, so I am orphan-rearing this one. She can be weaned from milk any time, but will still need to be on creep feed through mid August.
