Offered for sale as a purebred  Katahdin ewelamb $300, genotyped

Petite white ewelamb. Balanced and positive EBVs across the board for growth, milk and prolificacy. Sired by a framey, dark chocolate ram from Birch Cove Farm (David Coplen, Missouri). Dam traces back to Thistle Grove Farm in Iowa (John Bare, DVM) and Misty River Farm (Mary Bakko, Moses Lake, now retired).

Photo from February 2022.  EBVs from 2021 lamb crop EPWWT data and includes the new Genomics run calculations, and this ewe is genotyped herself. NSIP is currently not reporting the USA HAIR index, until it can be updated with the new Genomics calculations.  This ewelamb is register-able, weaned, and ready to go to a new home today! She was exposed to a ram in winter, but tested open in Feb. So likely ready to breed and lamb as a 2-year-old.

Heavy-bodied white ewe. Balanced and positive EBVs across the board. Dam traces back to White Post Farm on the East Coast, and old-stock WA genetics from Bert Martineau’s farm and On the Lamb Farm in Arlington. We in the PNW have been lucky to borrow a ram from the USDA Research Station in Booneville, AR; Dr. Joan Burke is lending him to our region so that we can get better linkage to the “cluster” of flocks in the Midwest/South. He’s been on a tour through Idaho and Oregon, and made a stop here in 2020 to be used in my flock, and he’s headed East now. Take advantage of some great out-of-state genetics!

Offered for sale as a purebred, register-able  Katahdin eweamb $275

Cute little white ewe with red markings. She’s a triplet out of an older ewe, so will likely need to grow out til next year before she breeds. She’s got modest growth but stellar prolificacy and milk, these are strong maternal genetics. I’m keeping her sibling, and don’t usually keep both out of a set of twins or triplets, so this is a good opportunity to grab some genetics I normally wouldn’t let go. She is NSIP Maternal Certified.

This ewelamb’s sire is a very strong ram from David Coplen (Birch Cove Farm, Missouri). This sire has a Texel thee generations back. David’s crossing-in benefits us with heterosis and the double-muscling gene from Texels. The tradeoff is some setback in shedding, but this is easily recovered from in subsequent generations.  Her sire is an upgrade, a B coat, but most of his offspring are good shedders; and this ewelamb can be fully registered.  On her maternal side, she traces to Birch Cove (David Coplen, MO) and local KRK genetics.

NSIP is currently not reporting the USA HAIR index, until it can be updated with the new Genomics calculations.  This ewelamb is exposed to a ram starting Nov 8th, and is ready to go to a new home any time.
