Offered for sale as a registered 5-year old ewe, exposed, $350

This is a very pretty, well-put-together white ewe with a really nice coat. She has a modest frame size, which I really strive for, as I don’t like handling big ewes. Her growth numbers are a little on the low side, but her prolificacy and milk are good. She will tend to raise good twins and triplets; on grass alone they may take a little longer to finish, but if supplemented with hay or creep, this ewe’s yield will be great. This ewe is out of the now-retired Misty River flock and John Bare’s Thistle Grove Farm in Iowa, both dedicated NSIP flocks.

She is a very mellow and maternal ewe. In 2019, I awoke in the morning to find her loyally laying by two stillborn lambs that she had thoroughly cleaned during the night. (I suspect they were born backwards or had some mechanical reason to be born dead, which is not her fault behaviorally or genetically). She was feeling sad (and I didn’t want to waste that milk supply!), so I grafted two orphan lambs onto her. She took them graciously and even seemed appreciative to me for giving her some babies! 🙂 Her lambing record starting as a 2-year-old: 2/2, 3/3, 2/0 (+2 grafted).

Offered for sale as a commercial ewe/pet $250

A classically built, white ewe, clean shedder. Her dam had mastitis on one side, trying to raise twins as a yearling, so this one ended up mostly being an orphan-rear (though not really a “bottle baby” because I teach them to drink off of a teat bucket right away). You can see in the photo that she’s kind of a friendly pest, always curious about what I’m doing. She is a product of an unplanned late breeding from a cleanup ram, and thus she is somewhat inbred, her sire is also her maternal grandsire. But the rest of her pedigree is outcrossed; so if she were bred in the future, I don’t expect her progeny to be too bottlenecked. In January I caught a small mastitis abscess on her udder and treated that. Subsequently, she did not lamb this year, and has blood-tested open for pregnancy late April. I had a couple of ewes abort during winter and she may have been one of them, or may have resorbed her pregnancy (she had originally tested positive in November for an Oct breeding.) She could be bred in the future and would likely be a reliable producer, though she may have lower milk production if part of her udder was damaged. Otherwise, she will make a friendly pasture pet.
