Offered for sale as a purebred, registered Katahdin ewe, $325

Flashy mahogany and white pinto ewe. Good growth, survival and milk, but low prolificacy, which is why I’m selling her, her scores are just a little low to stay on my keeper list. But she is a good mother and has many years of lambing left in her. Pedigree is a blend of Misty River Farm (Mary Bakko, Moses Lake, now retired), Birch Cove Farm (David Coplen, Missouri), Thistle Grove Farm (John Bare, DVM, Iowa), KRK (Karen Kenagy, Oregon), plus my own genetics. Lambing record starting as a two year old: 1/0, 2/2, 1/1, 2/2. (Her yearling loss was a fence accident, no fault of her own.) She is NSIP Maternal Certified.

Photo taken September 2023. EBVs from 2023 lamb crop EPWWT data. She is NSIP genotyped. Her lambs are weaned and she can go to a new home today.

Offered for sale as a purebred, registered Katahdin ewe, $350

Flashy chocolate and white pinto ewe. Her EBVs are modest across the board, which is why I’m selling her, her scores are just a little low to stay on my keeper list. But she is a good mother and has many years of lambing left in her. Pedigree is a blend of Birch Cove Farm (David Coplen, Missouri), Carl Ginapp (Iowa, now retired from sheep), and line bred on a ram tracing back to KRK (Karen Kenagy, Oregon), plus my own genetics. Lambing record starting as a yearling: 1/1, 2/2, 1/1, 2/1, 2/1. (Prior year she had 1 stillborn, this year, I grafted one to another ewe in a moment of chaos management, though she may have been able to raise it fine had I had time to deal with whatever was going on that was separating them.)

Photo taken September 2023. EBVs from 2023 lamb crop EPWWT data. She is NSIP genotyped. Her lambs are weaned and she can go to a new home today.

Offered for sale as a purebred, register-able Katahdin ram lamb, $400

Short coated buckskin ram. Strong EBVs across the board. Sire is one of the top EBV rams (IMO!) born at Karen Kenagy’s in 2022; and dam is a blend of my genetics and Birch Cove Farm (David Coplen, MO). A note of caution: his birthweight score is on the high side, which is a common artifact with high growth metric rams. If you are a hands-off lambing operation or you feed your ewes really well during pregnancy, you may want to consider a ram with a lower BWT value.

Photo taken August 2023. EBVs from 2023 EPWWT data. Ram is NSIP Maternal and Stud Certified. He is weaned and ready to start breeding right away!

Offered for sale as a purebred, register-able Katahdin ram lamb, $400

Offered for sale as a purebred, register-able Katahdin ram lamb, $400

Blocky solid chocolate ram. Solid EBVs across the board, quite high on prolificacy and survival, so be prepared for triplets from is daughters. Pedigree is heavy on Birch Cove (David Coplen, Missouri) plus a little from Lynn Fahrmeier in Missouri.

Offered for sale as a purebred, register-able Katahdin ram lamb, $450

Red roan ram with a brockle face. It’s hard to see in the dusty summer pics, but this guy will have really striking markings once he sheds in his yearling year; roans are unusual and quite beautiful in summer when they are slick-coated. Solid EBVs across the board, lower on NLB for those who don’t prefer a lot of multi births. Pedigree is heavy on Birch Cove (David Coplen, Missouri) plus a little Misty River Farm (Mary Bakko, Moses Lake, now retired).

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

Beefy white ram. Very strong EBVs across the board, especially on the maternal side, this ram’s daughters will make excellent replacement ewes. Diverse pedigree with my own genetics plus Birch Cove (David Coplen, Missouri) and a USDA ram from the Booneville, AR research station that we got to borrow in the PNW for a year. A note of caution: his birthweight score is quite high, which is a common artifact with high growth metric rams. If you are a hands-off lambing operation or you feed your ewes really well during pregnancy, you may want to consider a ram with a lower BWT value; or avoid breeding him to smaller framed ewelambs.

Offered for sale as a purebred, register-able Katahdin ram lamb, $400

Tall reddish-fawn ram with baldface, long socks and white tail. He has moderate but balanced EBVs across the board, for those looking for a ram that’s not too extreme. Diverse pedigree with local genetics plus Birch Cove (David Coplen, Missouri), Thistle Grove Farm (John Bare, DVM, Iowa), Misty River Farm (Mary Bakko, Moses Lake, now retired) and Just Plain Sheep (Eastern WA, now retired).

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

Big, framey mahogany ram with flashy white markings. One of the top rams born here in 2023. Really strong EBVs, top 4% in the nation for Index. But more modest on NLB for those who like to turn the dial down on multi births. This ram will take your replacement ewes to the next level and also bring you strong butcher lambs. Diverse pedigree with local genetics plus Birch Cove (David Coplen, Missouri) and Misty River Farm (Mary Bakko, Moses Lake, now retired). The granddam WAI1550 is a “ringer”, she came from outside the NSIP system but has risen in the ranks as her progeny outperform their peers; sons and grandsons of hers have gone all over the country.
