A pretty red ram with solid growth and milk numbers, good prolificacy and moderate on survival EBVs. Lots of color in this pedigree, grabbing some genetics from Mary Bakko’s now-retired Misty River Farm plus a lot of my own top maternal lines. This will be a good flock sire for someone’s homestead!

Offered for sale as a registered ram lamb, $475

A classic white ram with very strong EBVs across the board. He qualifies for both the NSIP Maternal Certified and Stud Certified status. This guy will throw great butcher lambs and very strong replacement daughters that push growth, prolificacy, survival and milk to new heights. This ram is out of one of my top ewes from Mary Bakko’s now-retired Misty River Farm flock, and he traces back to a bit of Iowa and Missouri genetics as well. One of my top picks from the 2019 crop of 141 lambs.

Offered for sale as a registered yearling ewe $500 with wether lamb at side

Pretty dark chocolate brown ewe, slick shedder, good mama. Very positive growth and milk scores, moderate on prolifacy, this girl is likely to be a solid twinner most of her life. Lambing record starting as a yearling: 1/1.

Photo taken June 2019 with her lamb.  EBVs from 2019 lamb crop WWT data. This girl can go with her (to be castrated) grower ram lamb at side as a pair before the end of August. In Sept, she can go solo for $325 once I wean her lamb.

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.

Offered for sale as a registered ewe $375, exposed to a ram

A large-framed buckskin ewe with positive growth and milk scores, a little lower on prolificacy. Lambing record starting as two year old: 1/1, 3/2. She lost one of her triplets this year three weeks in, necropsy revealed it had no milk in its stomach, so was likely not keeping up or competing with the siblings; so she may need to be monitored if she has triplets again. But her NLB score indicates triplets may not be common for her, and she is very maternal with her remaining twins.

Offered for sale as a purebred Katahdin ewe with ewelamb at side $500

A feminine, classic white ewe with positive growth, milk and prolificacy. She lost her lamb last year from external causes, but easily grafted on twins, so she is very maternal. Her mother is from the now-retired Misty River line, and her paternal grandmother is from Birch Cove Farm in Missouri. Lambing record starting as a yearling: 1/2, 1/1

Photo taken June 2019.  EBVs from 2020 crop birth data. This ewe can go with her chocolate ewelamb at side before June for $500, or for $300 in August when her lamb is weaned.
