Big white, gentle and calm yearling ram with a giant brindle “Popeye” eye patch. Solid EBVs, though a little more modest on prolificacy and milk. Note this guy has a pretty high birth weight score, so monitor births on small or yearling ewes bred to him. Dam traces back to Misty River farm (Mary Bakko, Moses Lake, now retired) and Thistle Grove Farm (John Bare, DVM, Iowa). Sire is out of Birch Cove Genetics (David Coplen, Missouri). His sire and granddam were badger colored, and there are lots of deep mahogany and fawns here as well, for those who are “after” those color genetics; even though he is mostly white, he’ll probably throw some interesting colors.

Offered for sale as a pet Katahdin ewe $275

This girl is at the end of her line for raising lambs, her milk supply is too compromised to even raise one lamb successfully. She came from Mary Bakko in Moses Lake, who retired from sheep a few years ago.  She was part of a smaller flock and she is very gentle and calm. She should live well into her teens, and would like to retire at a pet home! Photo taken June 2022.

Nice, solid white ram lamb. He’s got really strong EBVs across the board, this is a very good set of genetics. Dam traces back to Birch Cove Farm (David Coplen, Missouri) and Thistle Grove Farm (John Bare, DVM, Iowa).

Photo taken June 2022. EBVs from 2022 lamb crop WWT data run. He is NSIP Stud and Maternal Certified. This guy was born a quad to a dam who has a damaged udder from past subclinical mastitis. So I orphan-reared two of her lambs to reduce her burden. This guy is now weaned and eating creep and alfalfa well. He will need some time to transition/ train to eat grass (ideally with some other sheep to model), as he’s been indoors since birth.  Note despite being an orphan-rear, he is not tame (has hasn’t been bottle/hand fed, rather has been drinking from the teat bucket since 1 day old). So there is no concern about him becoming aggressive or hard to handle as an adult. He can go to a new home any time and will be ready to breed this fall.
