Offered for sale as a purebred, register-able Katahdin ram lamb, $500

Beefy red ram with white freckles. One of the top rams born here in 2023. Really powerful EBVs across the board- top 1% in the nation for milk and WWT, top 15% for PWWT, top 10% for survival, and top 2% for Index. But a little more modest on NLB, for those who don’t love a lot of multi births.

A lot of Birch Cove (David Coplen, Missouri) genetics here plus a USDA ram from the Booneville, AR research station we got to borrow in the PNW for a year. This ram will take your replacement ewes to the next level and also bring you strong butcher lambs. A note of caution: his birthweight score is quite high, which is a common artifact with high growth metric rams. If you are a hands-off lambing operation or you feed  your ewes really well during pregnancy, you may want to consider a ram with a lower BWT value; or avoid breeding him to smaller framed ewelambs.

A note of caution: his birthweight score is on the high side, which is a common artifact with high growth metric rams.

Nicely put together white ram with freckles and a large shoulder spot. He has moderate but consistent EBVs.  A mix of local, Birch Cove (David Coplen, Missouri) and Misty River Farm (Mary Bakko, Moses Lake, now retired) genetics.

Big bodied white ram with some black face dots. Strong growth, survival and milk scores, but more modest on prolificacy for those who don’t love triplets.  A mix of local, Birch Cove (David Coplen, Missouri), Thistle Grove Farm (John Bare, DVM Iowa), and Misty River Farm (Mary Bakko, Moses Lake, now retired) genetics. A note of caution: his birthweight score is quite high, which is a common artifact with high growth metric rams. If you are a hands-off lambing operation or you feed  your ewes really well during pregnancy, you may want to consider a ram with a lower BWT value. Note: this ram is horned, but I have him listed anyway, at a discount, because he has very strong EBVs and and make a great terminal sire. The horned/poll genes tend to only crop up in a small number of progeny, and if not preferred, those can go in the butcher channel.
