Offered for sale as a purebred, registered Katahdin ewe $720 with lambs at side through May 16th 

Beautiful, full-bodied white ewe. Positive and balanced EBVs across the board, this will be a very standard but productive ewe. Pedigree a blend of Birch Cove (David Coplen, Missouri), Misty River Farm (Mary Bakko,  Moses Lake, now retired), and KRK Katahdins in Oregon. Lambing record starting as a two-year-old: 2/2.

Photo taken September 2020. EBVs from 2020 lamb crop PWWT data. This ewe has twin lambs at side; a chocolate ram lamb with a white star, and a fawn colored ewelamb. Price good through mid-May, then it will adjust up to reflect the size/age of her lambs. Current price reflects dam as registered, ewelamb as register-able, and ram lamb as commercial. $100 more (now or later) for ram lamb registration. I’ll try to get a photo of the lambs soon!

Offered for sale as a purebred, registered Katahdin ewe $420 with ram lamb at side through May 16th 

Feminine white ewe. Modest growth EBVs, but positive prolificacy and a strong milk score make up for it, giving her a good index. Diverse blend of Birch Cove (David Coplen, Missouri), Misty River Farm (Mary Bakko,  Moses Lake, now retired), Misty Oaks Farm (Kathy Bielek, Ohio), Thistle Grove Farm (John Bare, Iowa), and Aspen Mountain Farms (Aileen Scott, Montana). As you can see in the photo, she didn’t shed completely as a yearling, she was a borderline C coat. But those dreads may come off this year; and it’s not enough to require shearing. I’ve discounted her a little because of this. Lambing record starting as a two-year-old: 1/1.

Photo taken November 2020. EBVs from 2020 lamb crop PWWT data. This ewe has a white ram lamb at side. Price good through mid-May, then it will adjust up to reflect the size/age of her lamb. Current price reflects dam as registered, and ram lamb as commercial. $100 more (now or later) for ram lamb registration. I’ll try to get a photo of the ram soon!

Really nicely put together white ewe. Strong prolificacy and survival, lots of triplets in this pedigree. More moderate on growth and milk, but these are made up for by all the extra, surviving lambs this girl and her daughters are likely to give you!  Pedigree brings in Birch Cove Farm (David Coplen, Missouri), Thistle Grove Farm (John Bare, Iowa), Aspen Mountain Farm (Aileen Scott, Montan) and White Post Farm (East Coast, now retired). Take advantage of my significant investment bringing good genetics out west!

Offered for sale as a purebred Katahdin yearling ewe $300

Cute fawn, freckle-faced ewe. Really nice EBVs across the board, lots of triplets in this pedigree and NLB score, along with good growth, survival and positive milk. This poor girl was quietly laying down in labor behind some bushes right in the middle of the day, and I missed that she had a shoulder-locked lamb until it was too late! So easy to pull, if only I would have caught it in time. 🙁 So, this loss was not really her fault and I have confidence she’ll be a good mother from here on out, she comes from very maternal lines.

Cute ewe with a freckle face. She delivered a lovely lamb and I happened upon them right at the time of birth, only to be dismayed to see the lamb having agonal breaths and I was not able to resuscitate it. It may have had a distressing birth, I don’t know. This ewe was so upset over her lamb she did not leave it for a day. I finally brought her in and tried to graft another lamb onto her, but she was resistant and I was too busy to persist. Instead I left her in the barn and found that she tolerated all the bummer lambs nursing off of her, as long as they did it from the back. 😀 So, she’s been feeding a whole gang of lambs, but I’m about to wean them all to sell as growers, so her job will be done for this year. I would not expect her lamb loss to recur, but have discounted her a bit anyway. She has very good growth EBVs and strong prolificacy and milk, just hit a little on her NLW score because of the lamb loss. Nice mix of KRK Katahdins (Oregon), Birch Cove (David Coplen, Missouri), and Thistle Grove Farm (John Bare, Iowa).
