Offered for sale as a register-able Katahdin ewelamb $300
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. The EBVs are moderate because there is currently a snafu getting those rams connected back to NSIP (but I’m hoping this will get resolved in Sept). 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.
