Offered for sale as a purebred pet/commercial Katahdin ewe, $275

Cute red spotted ewe. Dam’s pedigree traces back to KRK (Karen Kenagy, Oregon) and Birch Cove Farm (David Coplen, MO). Sire traces back to Gibraltar Farm in New York, plus local genetics. Really nice EBVs across the board. Two caveats: 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. Additionally, she has developed subclinical mastitis on one side as her lamb was at weaning age, so will likely only be able to raise 1-2 lambs in the future. So selling her at cull price. She could be bred again, but be prepared to potentially bottle feed. Otherwise she would make a good pet or herding dog training flock member.

Offered for sale as a commercial  Katahdin ewe with ewelamb at side $775

White 5-year-old ewe in great shape. She has half an udder damaged from prior years’ mastitis and is not able to raise twins, so selling her at cull price. She could be bred again if you are prepared to orphan rear when she has more than one lamb. Comes with white ewelamb at side before earl August, or this ewe can go separately for $275 mid-August when her lamb is weaned.

Offered for sale as a purebred registered Katahdin ewe  $275

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.

I had listed her for sale as a regular breeding ewe, but realized in Aug bag check at weaning that she’s got some lumps from subclinical mastitis. This may limit her milk productivity in future years, so marking her as a pet. She can still be bred, but be prepared to bottle feed if she has twins.

Offered for sale as pet Katahdin yearling ewe $275

White yearling ewe with red dots. She was a keeper ewe for me, had a nice ram lamb this spring, but blew up with bluebag (gangrene) mastitis in May. Most of her udder is destroyed, so she likely wouldn’t even be able to raise one lamb in the future, so being sold at cull/pet price.  She is a pretty and otherwise healthy ewe with many years ahead of her as a pasture pet or dog training sheep.

Photo taken June 2025. Her udder is nicely healed up and she can go to a new home any time.
