Offered for sale as a recordable-able Katahdin ram lamb $400

Chunky solid chocolate ram lamb. Dam is from local genetics I don’t know the sire as this ram’s dam was bred by a cleanup ram and I didn’t DNA test him. So he is 50% recordable, though purebred Katahdin. His EBVs will be less accurate since there is no sire data, so his dam’s and his own data is average with zeros. But he should be a solid sire for someone who just needs a ram to breed a few ewes.

Offered for sale as a register-able Katahdin ram lamb $425

Classic framey white ram amb. Dam is from local genetics plus a distant Thistle Grove Farm (John Bare, DVM, Iowa). The sire is special: I was able to trade some proven rams for two top-performing ram lambs off the range at the USDA Sheep Research Station in Dubois, ID. Their sire is KRK. These guys’ dams came from the US Meat Animal Research Station (US MARC) research flock in Lincoln, NE. These sheep have been raised in an extensive, low-input system that’s a true test of hardiness and wiliness (they live in wolf country and are ranged on thousands of acres in large bands with guardian dogs). So I’m excited to see what these genetics do in our system in the PNW.  This is a unique opportunity to capture some pretty diverse genetics and some of the magic gold dust from MARC, the home of the “Easycare” composite hair sheep.

Striking dilute badger roan colored ram- a really unusual color combo! Solid EBVs across the board. Dam is from Birch Cove (David Copen, Missouri, now retired) and KRK genetics (via WAI). The sire is special: I was able to trade some proven rams for two top-performing ram lambs off the range at the USDA Sheep Research Station in Dubois, ID. Their sire is KRK.

Offered for sale as a record-able Katahdin ram lamb $475

Flashy ram with black roan markings. His dam was accidentally bred early when exposed to multiple rams from the 2024 crop. DNA identified  his sire, but unfortunately I don’t know that sire’s sire (though they are all purebred here)! So this ram can be recorded as 75% and if bred to a purebred ewe, his offspring can be upgraded to purebred as long as they pass a hair coat inspection in their yearling year. Even with unknown sire averaging his dam’s scores with zeros, he still has really good EBVs. Being a single from a mature ewe, he is h.u.g.e and gorgeous. Dam pedigree traces back to Birch Cove (David Coplen, MO) and some KRK. Sire pedigree traces back to Misty River Farm (Mary Bakko, Moses Lake, now retired).
