Offered for sale as a register-able Katahdin ram lamb $425

Tall white ram with some black markings.  Solid EBVs across the board, other than lower NLB, so his daughters may steer clear of a lot of multi births. Sire hails from North Carolina State University, tracing back to Roxanne Newton’s Hound River Farm in Georgia, Lee Wright’s flock in Virginia, and the USDA Research Station in Booneville, AR; all of whom are so well known for their excellence in parasite resistance selection. Dam comes from local genetics (Mary Bakko and Jody Ouradnik in Eastern WA, both now retired from sheep).

Nicely put together white ram with some peach markings.  Solid EBVs across the board. Nice diverse pedigree with sire coming all the way from New York (Gibraltar Farm), tracking back to Roxanne Newton’s Hound River Farm in Georgia, and Lee Wright’s flock in Virginia, both of whom are so well known for their excellence in parasite resistance selection. Dam traces to Birch Cove (David Coplen, Missouri) and a past sire from Thistle Grove Farm (John Bare, DVM in Iowa). You won’t get more out of state genetics than this!

Offered for sale as a pet Katahdin ewe $375

Pretty white ewe. She’s had some prolapse issues in her yearling year, and tho often they don’t recur, sometimes they do and can be  hereditary, so I’m selling her as a commercial/ unregistered pet.  I’m breeding her this fall, price reflects being exposed. So new owner should be experienced with managing prolapse in case it recurs. After she lambs in 2025, she could

Offered for sale as a pet Katahdin ewe $275

Pretty red buckskin ewe with a mottled white face. She has a good pedigree and EBVs, but wasn’t quite going to make the cut for me to keep her. Sadly she had a hard birth of twin lambs that I had to pull, and it was hard on her. She may breed fine in the future, but I always discount these and market them as pets in case the dystocia were to continue.

Offered for sale as a registerable Katahdin yearling ewe $325

Framey ewe with brown splash markings. Strong on growth, milk and survival, but more modest on number of lambs born (tho her dam has had triplets twice).  Her pedigree is a diverse blend of Birch Cove (David Coplen, MO), some old stock from White Post Farm (now retired), and Aspen Mountain (Aileen Scott, MT). Her dam is still here at 11 years old and going strong, so there are some nice longevity genetics here. She is a bit shaggy this summer as a yearling. but has enough underlying hair coat that she will likely shed to a B or A coat by age two or three.

Offered for sale as a commercial Katahdin ewelamb $250

Cute chonky ewe, white with brown and black spots, born in January. She was the result of an accidental breeding last August, so I don’t know who her sire is. She’s had some familial prolapsing in her pedigree, enough that I think there is risk that it may repeat with her, so am selling her as a commercial/ pet. She can certainly be bred and will probably be a good dam, and prolapse is only lowly heritable, so it may never crop up for her. But if it does, then it would be recommended to send her and her daughters into the meat channel. Otherwise she could make a lovely pet and pasture ornament, or companion for horses. She could also be grown out as a slaughter animal, and depending on how fed, could be ready for butcher in October or so.

Offered for sale as a registerable Katahdin ewelamb $300

Classic frame chocolate ewe. She was the result of an accidental breeding last August, but I was able to confirm her sire via DNA.  Pedigree traces back to Birch Cove (David Coplen, MO) plus a little bit from Misty River Farm (Mary Bakko, Moses Lake, now retired). Line bred on “Cheech” sire, who has some of the top EBVs in the country, with a lot of data in the system from five years of his progeny in the database.

EBVs from the 2024 lamb crop WWT data. Photo taken May 2024. She is weaned and ready to go to a new home today. Because she’s older and more substantial, she is much more likely to breed this fall than April born ewelambs.
