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.

Offered for sale as a registered ram lamb $350

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.

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.

Offered for sale as a registered yearling ewe $300

Tall, buckskin ewe with flashy markings and a panda face. Very strong growth and milk scores, lower on prolificacy, so she will likely steer away from triplets.

Offered for sale as a registered yearling ewe $300

A nice, heavy-bodied ewe with long neck. Chocolate with a brockle face. Very clean shedder. Really good growth and milk scores, but more moderate on prolificacy. She has a mix of lower and higher NLB animals in her pedigree, being a triplet herself, but this pedigree averages away from triplets in general.

Offered for sale as a registered ewe $370, with ram lamb at side

This is a pretty red ewe with classic Katahdin type and a very full rumen capacity built just for forage.  She has been a good mother, but has had a couple of bad luck incidents. She lost one of her twins her first year due to clostridium. In 2019, one of her twins died suddenly from something, either clostridium, accident or toxic plant exposure. He was a big, healthy ram and had a stomach full of milk, so something killed him quick not long after he had a good meal. 🙁 I don’t hold either loss against her; and am only reluctantly letting her go because she is six and on the lower end of the EBV index. She has moderate EBVs across the board and is a little low on milk, but raised triplets successfully in 2018. She can make someone a good foundation stock ewe and should lamb for another four+ years easily. Her pedigree is mostly KRK, but her maternal grandsire is from very old Washington Kathadin stock- Bert Martineau’s line; which is now retired.

Photo from winter 2018. EBVs from 2019 lamb crop PWWT data.  Lambing record starting as a two-year-old: 2/1, 2/2, 3/3, 2/1, 1/1. She has a single chocolate-colored ram lamb at side, they can go as a pair for $370 before the end of May. The ram will be weaned in August.
