Offered for sale as a register-able Katahdin ewelamb $300

Pretty ewe with rust colored markings and a brockle face. Positive EBVs across the board and strong on maternal. Sire pulls in genetics from the USDA Research Station in Booneville, AR (and there’s a little bit of line breeding on him on the dam’s side). Dam’s sire came all the way from New York, Gibraltar Farm (Etienne and Isabel Richards) a very large and strong NSIP flock.

Cute white ewelamb. Dam is from Birch Cove (David Copen, Missouri, now retired) and Misty River Farm (Mary Bakko, Moses Lake, now retired). The sire is special: I was able to trade some proven rams for two top-performing ram lambs off the range at the USDA Sheep Research Station in Dubois, ID. Their sire is KRK. These guys’ dams came from the US Meat Animal Research Station (US MARC) research flock in Lincoln, NE. These sheep have been raised in an extensive, low-input system that’s a true test of hardiness and wiliness (they live in wolf country and are ranged on thousands of acres in large bands with guardian dogs). So I’m excited to see what these genetics do in our system in the PNW.  This is a unique opportunity to capture some pretty diverse genetics and some of the magic gold dust from MARC, the home of the “Easycare” composite hair sheep.

Solid reddish buckskin ewelamb. Positive EBVs across the board. Sire pulls in genetics from the USDA Research Station in Booneville, AR. Dam is mostly local genetics with a little bit of KRK and Thistle Grove Farm (John Bare, DVM, Iowa).

EBVs from 2025 lamb crop EPWWT data. Photo taken August 2025. She blood tested open in February (smaller yearlings often don’t lamb here) and is ready to grow out and breed this fall to lamb as a 2-year-old.

Offered for sale as a record-able Katahdin ram lamb $450

Fancy chocolate pinto panda ram. I’m not 100% certain of his sire and did not DNA test him, but his twin sibling tested to this sire, so the below pedigree is a higher confidence presumption. I’ll sell him as record-able at 50%, since the parentage isn’t 100% for sure. (Presumed) sire traces back to USDA ram from the Booneville, AR research station that we borrowed in the PNW For a while. Dam is mostly my own genetics but tracing back to  Birch Cove (David Coplen, MO).

Offered for sale as a register-able Katahdin ram lamb $475

Fancy dark mahogany ram with plenty of “chrome” (lots of bold white). I originally didn’t know his sire and just got DNA results back, so these EBVs will change (maternal should go up) once they flow through early August. Sire came all the way from North Carolina State University and traces back to Hound River Farm (Roxanne Newton, GA). Maternal grandsire is from Gibraltar Farm in New York (Etienne and Isabel Richards). There is also a little Lee Wright, USDA Booneville and Caleb Pirc genetics in there. Truly a diverse, out of state pedigree to bring some fresh blood to the PNW.

Dense and lean solid fawn ram lamb with a gray brockle face.  Solid and balanced EBVs. Sire traces back to USDA ram from the Booneville, AR research station that we borrowed in the PNW For a while. Dam has a diversity of Birch Cove (David Coplen, MO) and local genetics.

Offered for sale as a register-able Katahdin ram lamb $500

Framey white ram with a brockle face and leg freckles.  Really strong EBVs across the board. Pedigree has lots of Birch Cove (David Coplen, MO), plus Lynn Fahrmeier (MO), Thistle Grove Farm (John Bare, DVM, IA) and Carl Ginapp (IA, now retired). This is a very diverse out-of-state pedigree.

Offered for sale as a register-able Katahdin ram lamb $475

Framey white ram lamb.  Really strong EBVs across the board. Sire was obtained via trade with the USDA Sheep Research Station in Dubois, ID; and his granddam is from the famed ARS research flock at US Meat Animal Research Station in Lincoln, NE and Roxanne Newton’s excellent parasite resistant flock in Georgia. Dam has mostly Birch Cove (David Coplen, MO) genetics. The Idaho flock is maintained on thousands of acres of range, and this sire was one of the top performers of the 2024 crop, so he is a survivor! This is a rare opportunity to capture out-of-state genetics, range genetics, and strong NSIP lines.
