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 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 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.

Really pretty fawn/peach-colored ewe with a white face. Positive EBVs across the board, very strong growth and prolificacy. Sire pulls in genetics from the USDA Research Station in Booneville, AR. Dam’s sire is from Gibraltar Farm in New York.

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

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