Offered for sale as a registered yearling ewe, bred $450
This is a a beautifulĀ buckskin pinto ewe with an early-shedding, very slick coat. She has very balanced Ā positive EBVs across the board, nothing too extreme. Her sire is my “maternal sire” ram from Iowa, John Bare, DVM’s flock at Thistle Grove Farm. Her dam is a really sweet and gentle, very motherly ewe with a lot of color in her background.
This ewe has been exposed to a ram, due to lamb in April. Her lambs will be registerable. Keep in mind that mature ewes usually twin, so the floor of profit is $400 in butcher lambs, more if you sell some registered lambs or have triplets, so bred ewes have a great ROI. There are no guarantees on pregnancy status, since viability is mostly due to handling and feeding; but I rarely have one end up open. EBVs fromĀ this year’s lamb crop birth data.
