Offered for sale as a purebred commercial Katahdin ewe, with ram lamb at side $5200

Cute red spotted ewe. I don’t know who here sire is, as her dam bred late and DNA did not match to any sires I have in the database, so it was some other random ram here in December. Dam’s pedigree traces back to KRK (Karen Kenagy, Oregon) and Birch Cove Farm (David Coplen, MO). Really nice EBVs across the board. Caveat: this ewe  had entropion (inverted eyelids) as a lamb, which is lowly heritable, so I’m selling her unregistered as a commercial ewe and discounted. When these crop up, they are easily fixed with a penicillin injection below the eyelid, but it’s an inconvenience to deal with this, so we try to breed away from it. She will make a fine productive ewe on a small farm, and bred to a diverse sire, this issue may never recur in her lambs.

Photo taken May 2026.  EBVs from 2026 crop birth data. She has a white ram lamb at side. They can go together at this price through end of July; or separately in August when he is weaned. This ram lamb was born late so I don’t know who the sire is, he is being sold commercial, but intact.
