Offered for sale as a registered ram lamb $500

This is a very standard white ram that promises to really improve your growth and milk genetics! Those WWT, PWWT and MWWT scores are in the top 1% of the nation. His prolificacy is more moderate, so his daughters are still likely to twin, but steer away from multiple births.

Photo taken July 2018  EBVs from 2018 lamb crop WWT data. This lamb will be weaned mid-August, or I could wean him sooner for an interested buyer.

Offered for sale as a registered ewelamb, $275

A tall reddish-fawn baldfaced ewe with white socks. This is a really diverse pedigree, incorporating genes from Iowa (Thistle Grove), Ohio (Misty Oaks), Illinois, (Whitepost Farm, now retired) and Montana (Aspen Mountain).  Very solid growth and milk numbers and moderate prolificacy, this girl may help avoid triplets for those who don’t like them, but should be a solid twinner that can reliably raise good lambs.

Offered for sale as a registered ewelamb, $200

A cute and flashy little fawn pinto ewelamb with decent balanced EBVs across the board, nothing too extreme, she will likely be a standard producer of moderate-sized twins. Her dam was bred by the cleanup ram, so this pedigree is more inbred than I prefer. Thus I have discounted her. But if she is bred to an out-cross ram, she is probably a safe bet. And KMC5088 himself was an out-cross between local and Missouri genetics, so there is still quite a bit of genetic diversity in this pedigree. Since folks love pintos (and discounted sheep!) and this color is hard to get in ewes, I thought I’d go ahead and list her for sale.

Offered for sale as a registered ewelamb $300

Nicely structured white ewe with brown ear tips. Really strong growth and prolificacy, moderate milk. I expect this ewe to have some triplets in her lifetime and otherwise always twin.

Offered for sale as a registered ram lamb, $450

White ram lamb with really strong growth and  milk scores,  solid twinning genetics, and good survival. This guy will make a great all-around sire.

Offered for sale as a registered yearling ewe, $350

This is a beautiful brow freckled yearling with big capacity,  that has maintained really good weight while growing a huge ram lamb. True to her EBVs, she has thrown a good grower that was well-fed with great milk.  She meets the criteria for the NSIP Certified Maternal designation, due to being in the top 50% for the index, and top 30% for NLB and MWWT. Her sire is from Iowa, dam is one of Mary Bakko’s (Misty River Farm) last ewes, and one of her highest scoring ones, sold off when she retired in 2016.

EBVs from the 2018 lamb crop 60 day weight data. Photo taken  in July, pictured here with her lamb. Her chocolate ram lamb (18102) will be weaned mid-August, or she can go with him at side sooner (for an extra fee).  Lambing history starting as a yearling: 1/1.

Offered for sale as a registered yearling ewe, $425, exposed to a ram starting 11/3/18

This is a beautiful mahogany pinto ewe with very balanced EBVS- good growth and positive milk, with moderate prolificacy and survival. This girl is likely to have twins most of her life.

EBVs from the 2018 lamb crop 60 day weight data. Photo taken  in July. She did not lamb as a yearling, which is true of about half my yearlings this year. She is being exposed now, I expect her to be marked/bred before Thanksgiving.

Offered for sale as a registered yearling ewe, $375

Behold this ewe- she is a gorgeous physical specimen! She is quite large-framed, a good shedder and has really strong growth EBVs, good survival and milk, and moderate prolificacy. I have kept her twin sister, so am parting with this exceptional-looking ewe only because I can’t keep too many of the same thing. She is a blend of two different ewes from David Copen’s Birch Cove Farm in Missouri. I’ve had fantastic luck with his genetics, he has a very mature breeding program on grass with low inputs, and his stock is hardy and productive! There are quite a few red sheep (and a badger!) in this pedigree, so she will throw color some of the time.

Offered for sale as a registered yearling ewe, $425, exposed to a ram 11/3/18

This a moderate-framed, red ewe with white hind socks and tail.  Positive growth numbers, prolificacy is not too high, so she’ll likely mostly twin, milk is slightly negative. She is a good mother and good shedder.

A pretty, moderate-framed chocolate ewe with a brockle face and spotted legs. She has really strong growth and milk EBVs, but a little less on prolificacy, so may help steer clear of triplets for those who don’t like them.
