Offered for sale as a purebred commercial Katahdin ewe, exposed $400

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 blood tested positive for pregnancy in Feb and April and is starting to bag up, so I suspect she’s due in June. Price will go up once she has lambs at side.

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 record-able Katahdin ewe with ram lamb at side $520

Tall white yearling ewe with some tan freckling. Her dam bred early while she was still with a large group of ram lambs, not all of which had DNA in the system, and DNA did not come back with a match for her. Dam’s sire is from New York (Gibraltar Farm, Etienne and Isabelle Richards), and dam traces back to Birch Cove (David Coplen, MO) and Misty River Farm (Mary Bakko, Moses Lake, Now retired).

She has a white ram lamb at side 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 commercial  Katahdin ewe with ewelamb at side $575

Pretty white yearling ewe. Solid EBVs across the board, though weaker on parasite resistance. Sire traces back to USDA ram from Booneville AR, Lynn Fahrmeier (MO), Aspen Mountain (Aileen Scott, M T) and Birch Cove (David Coplen, MO). 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.

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.
