Offered for sale as a registered ewe for $250

A pretty red ewe with lots of color in her pedigree. She has been a reliable dam and has good growth metrics and moderate milk; but her NLB/NLW scores are low due to general family data, and because she singled in 2019 as a mature adult. This year, her score will get dinged more because she is open (blood tested late April to confirm). I had a couple of ewes abort early in the season and I don’t know which ones, so it’s possible she was pregnant and lost it due to environmental factors. It likely won’t recur and she’ll lamb normally next year, but I have discounted her accordingly. She would also make a lovely pet!

Her lambing record starting as a two-year-old: 2/2, 1/1, 0/0. Photo from Jan 2019.  EBVs from 2019 PWWT lamb data.

Offered for sale as a registered ewe with ram lamb at side $395 before 6/30/19

A very standard white ewe and a good mama. Her dam was a very productive ewe here, raising 30 lambs over a thirteen year lifespan. Unfortunately, she didn’t get credit for that prolificacy because she arrived here too old to have most of her lamb crops counted in NSIP; so this girl’s NLB score is lower than it should be, which also drops her index down. I believe this ewe is likely to twin most of her life. Her growth scores are modest, and her milk score is also low. So if she does ever have triplets, one might be poised to orphan-rear one, feed her really well, or be prepared for slower growing lambs. In general I expect this ewe will be productive and easy-care for many years to come.

This ewe is an upgrade to purebred status, as her dam was a recorded ewe. Her lambing record starting as a two-year-old: 2/2, 2/1. She had a stillborn lamb this year along with a healthy twin. Photo taken Jan 2019.  EBVs from April 2019 lamb crop birth data. This ewe can go with her ram lamb at side (as an unregistered grower- #19120, a fawn colored ram with white socks) before the end of June for $395. After that, I will wean the lamb and raise the price on both.

Offered for sale as a registered ewelamb $300

Gorgeous, big-bodied, red roan ewe with really strong growth and good milk scores. Higher prolificacy, though this girl may sometimes have triplets. She’s got Aspen Mountain (Montana) and Birch Cove (Missouri) genetics behind her, as well as Misty River, now retired from sheep.

Offered for sale as a registered ewe $420, with Dec ram lamb at side 

A very nice heavy-bodied, tall white ewe with really beautiful structure. Positive but modest EBVs across the board, but she will likely mostly twin and will raise them well. She retained a little bit of wool on her back this year, which may or may not shed completely now or in the future, so I’ve discounted her a little bit. But she is still a B coat, which is acceptable for retaining full registration. This girl snuck in a December ram lamb this year, she was the only ewe of about 90 to breed before I got the rams out of the pasture on August 4th, so she has some pretty prolific genetics.

Offered for sale as a registered yearling ewe, $300

A tall white ewe with classic lines. Very high growth and milk EBVs, including birth weight weight, so this girl could have inconveniently large lambs if overfed during pregnancy. Moderate on prolificacy. But for pounds-per-ewe-weaned, this girl is very strong, likely to consistently twin with good-growing lambs fed by a very rich milk supply.

Stocky white ewe with a splash of red down one shoulder. Good growth and milk scores, very high prolificacy, this girl’s maternal side has triplets galore, and good survival genes.

Offered for sale as a registered ram lamb $350

Stocky ram with very flashy markings, good growth EBVs, modest on maternal traits. He would be a good terminal sire for producing fast-growing butcher lambs.

Offered for sale as a registered yearling ewe, $300

Pretty, feminine solid white ewe. Her EBVs are good, though she’s a little weaker on milk. She should be a solid twinner that raises fast-growing lambs.

EBVs from Dec 2018 lamb crop data. Photo taken May 2019, and she has since completely shed. This ewe is ready to grow out and breed this fall to lamb as a two-year-old.

Offered for sale as a registered ewe lamb $275

A nicely structured white ewe with a short hair coat. Her EBVs are modest but positive and balanced, she will likely be a very standard-producing ewe. She comes from a mixed pedigree for prolificacy, dam line has quite a few triplets, sire line not so much, so she could go either way.
