Offered for sale as a commercial  Katahdin ewe $275

White 6-year-old ewe with brown freckles. She’s had trouble with lamb survival in recent years, and may have a partial PPT tear that would make her unsuitable for breeding again, but she is healthy and will make a good pet/lawnmower.

Offered for sale as a commercial non-breeding Katahdin ewe $275

White 2-year-old ewe in great shape. She did not lamb as a yearling (which is not uncommon) but is also open this year, confirmed by blood test in April (she did mark by a ram in November.) She is not likely to breed in the future, so selling at/below cull/ mutton price. She can go to a new home any time. She would make a nice pasture pet or herding flock matriarch.

Offered for sale as a commercial non-breeding Katahdin ewe $275

Really flashy, big-framed chocolate and white ewe with long white socks. Three years old. She had twins as a yearling, missed a pregnancy last ear, and then again this year; and has blood-tested open in April. So she is not likely to breed again. She can go to a new home any time. She would make a nice pasture pet or herding flock matriarch.

Offered for sale as a commercial/ retired Katahdin ewe $275

Gentle chocolate ewe, six years old. She has really strong EBVs and is a great mother, but both sides of her udder are completely blocked out due to past years’ mastitis. She had triplets this year and I tried just penning her with one, and she couldn’t even keep that one fed within the first few days when demand was low. I farmed out her lambs to other ewes and the teat bucket, and her udder is already dried up and she can go to a new home any time. She would make a nice pasture pet or herding flock matriarch. It would be fine to let her breed again, just be prepared to orphan rear all her progeny.

Offered for sale as a commercial Katahdin ram lamb $250

Dark mahogany lamb with blaze. Dam hearkens to local genetics plus Birch Cove Farm (David Coplen, MO) and Misty River Farm (Mark Bakko, Moses Lake, now retired). Sire is from local genetics and traces back to Birch Cove and Lynn Fahrmeier (MO). Strong EBVs across the board, this ram will make a really nice sire for grower lambs and replacement ewes.

EBVs from 2026 lamb crop BWT data. Photo taken April 2026. This ram’s dam died from hypocalc when he was a couple of days old, so he was orphan-reared on a teat bucket (so no concerns around tameness, he was not bottle/hand fed). This guy can go as as weaned commercial grower lamb in early June for $250. $100 additional for registration form paperwork (buyer pays to register). Price will go up in July.  He should be maintained on high protein creep feed ideally until August when he is  120 days old, after which he can grow out on grass.

Offered for sale as a commercial Katahdin ram lamb $200

Flashy chocolate roan ram. Dam hearkens to local genetics plus Birch Cove Farm (David Coplen, MO) and Lynn Fahrmeier (MO). Sire is From Karen Kenagy in OR with some background form the USDA Research Station in Booneville, AR. Really nice EBVs for growth, milk and parasite resistance, more moderate on prolificacy.

EBVs from 2026 lamb crop BWT data. Photo taken April 2026. This ram got lost in the shuffle of some birth mixups, his dam tried to reject, and I didn’t have enough stanchion room to get her to take him, so he became an orphan-rear. (He is bucket trained, not bottle fed, so there should be no risk of him being too tame/ familiar with people.) This guy can go as as weaned commercial grower lamb in early June for $200. $100 additional for registration form paperwork (buyer pays to register). Price will go up in July.  He should be maintained on high protein creep feed ideally until August when he is  120 days old, after which he can grow out on grass.

Offered for sale as a commercial Katahdin ram lamb $200

Pretty chocolate ram with white krunet marking. Dam hearkens to local genetics plus Birch Cove Farm (David Coplen, MO). Sire is from North Carolina State University and captures genetics from Roxanne Newton (GA), Lee Wright (VA) and the USDA Research Station in Booneville, AR. A very diverse pedigree from around the US. Strong growth and maternal EBVs, modest on milk and not as strong for parasite resistance.

EBVs from 2026 lamb crop BWT data. Photo taken April 2026. This ram’s dam didn’t have enough milk for triplets, so he was orphan-reared on a teat bucket (so no concerns around tameness, he was not bottle/hand fed). This guy can go as as weaned commercial grower lamb in early June for $200. $100 additional for registration form paperwork (buyer pays to register). Price will go up in July.  He should be maintained on high protein creep feed ideally until August when he is  120 days old, after which he can grow out on grass.

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.

Offered for sale as a register-able Katahdin ewelamb $350

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.
