Offered for sale as a purebred commercial Katahdin ewe, with ram lamb at side $520

Cute red spotted ewe. 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 August; or separately in September when he is weaned. This ram lamb was born late on 5/31, so I don’t know who the sire is, he is being sold commercial, but intact. Note I originally didn’t know who this ewe’s sire was, so her EBVs are just based on dam/ own performance. Early Aug strangely NSIP came through with a sire error pointing to a DNA sire. So her EBVs will update with the mid-August 2026 run.
