Offered for sale as a purebred, register-able Katahdin ewelamb, $300

Pretty brockle-faced ewelamb with black legs. Positive growth and prolificacy scores, and really strong on milk. Pedigree traces back to Birch Cove Farm (David Coplen, Missouri) and Misty River Farm (Mary Bakko, now retired) genetics. Sire is from Birch Cove, he is one of the strongest EBV rams in the country right now, with strong, proven data behind him. We are lucky to have him here on the west coast and he’s going to be an influencer for some time to come.

Classic white ewelamb with one very dark brown front leg and a lot of black spots. Modest on growth and lower on prolificacy, but incredible milk score (top 1%). She also has pretty good parasite resistant scores, and their accuracy is higher because Caleb measures. Pedigree traces back to Birch Cove Farm (David Coplen, Missouri), a USDA ram from the Booneville Research Station we were able to borrow in the PNW in 2019, and Good Shepherd Farm (Caleb Pirc, Idaho) plus a little from Misty River Farm (Mary Bakko, Moses Lake, now retired) and my own genetics.

Offered for sale as a registered Katahdin ewe $500 with grower ram lamb at side

Stocky white seven year old ewe. Strong growth and milk, with lower prolificacy in her EBVs; so she may steer away from triplets, though you can see she had them once.  She is a calm and dedicated mother. This pedigree captures Thistle Grove farm (John Bare, DVM in Iowa), Carl Ginapp’s genetics (Iowa, now retired), Lynn Fahrmeier (Missouri), Birch Cove Farm (David Coplen, Missouri), Dosch Katahdins ( South Dakota, now retired) and some local genetics. A good chance to capture so-of-town genetics from long-time NSIP producers. Lambing record starting as a 2-year-old: 3/3, 2/1, 2/2, 1/1, 1/1, 2/1

Photo taken December 2022. EBVs from 2022 lamb crop EPWWT data. This ewe is NSIP genotyped. She had twins this year, but one was stillborn. The other one had a difficult delivery and has been troubled, so I have been supplementing him with a bottle a couple times day and he has access to creep feed. He will be appropriate to grow out as a grower, but not as a breeding ram. They can go to a new home in a few weeks when I have the lamb a bit stronger, so by mid April.
