Offered for sale as a castrated wether Katahdin lamb/ pet $180

This is a very pretty red ram with long white socks and a big white blaze. He’s got a mild parrot mouth, which I only see rarely, but is not great for a breeder, because more extreme versions of this can render lambs that can’t graze well and thus don’t grow well. So I’m selling him as a pet and will wether him before he leaves. He was born 4/2/23. His dam was ill when she lambed and didn’t have a great milk supply, so I raised this guy half as an orphan on the teat bucket and half eventually grafted onto another ewe. He is eating creep/alfalfa well and can go to a new home any time; and should stay on creep through the end of July. Photo taken in May, he is already shedding his soft lamb coat (rubbed off from the creep gate!) so should be a very slick shedder/ AA coat. Price good through end of June and will rise as he gets bigger and I have more feed into him.

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

Classic white ram. This is one of the higher indexing rams here this year, really nice EBVs across the board. A mix of local, Birch Cove (David Coplen, Missouri), and a USDA ram from the Booneville facility that we got to borrow in 2021.

This guy’s dam died tragically from sepsis as a two year old, leaving 60 day old, very well-fed ram lambs behind. This guy is weaned and eating well on creep and alfalfa and can go to a new home today and breed late summer/early fall. He should stay on creep feed at least until July before being turned out on grass alone, to allow his rumen to fully develop. Photo taken May 2023. EBVs from WWT data.

KMC 23051

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

Unusual dilute/buckskin roan tick, panda faced ram lamb. He has modest and balanced EBVs across the board, is just a standard, middle-of-the-road guy, but I know someone is going to want these fancy colors. A mix of local and Birch Cove (David Coplen, Missouri) genetics.

I brought this one inside on a dark and stormy night because he kept getting separated from his dam in the big field, and I didn’t have time to mess with them. Meanwhile a ewe in the barn aborted twins, so I just grafted this one on to her. He does nurse off her and they are bonded. But she turned out not to have a great milk supply, so he’s mostly been eating creep feed at this point, and could be weaned and go to a new home at any time. He should stay on creep feed at least until June before being turned out on grass alone, to allow his rumen to fully develop. Photo taken April 2023. EBVs from BWT data.

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

This little busy bee is an orphan-rear triplet; her dam is older and can no longer feed triplets, so I pulled this one. She has really strong EBVs across the board, great maternal and growth genetics. Lots of out-of-state lines on this one, bringing in NSIP genetics from Birch Cove (David Coplen, Missouri), Lynn Farhmeier (Missouri) and Carl Ginapp’s flock (Iowa, now retired). She is a big girl and a good eater. Solid white.

Photo taken April 2023. EBVs from BWT data. She is trained to the teat bucket or will happily nurse off a bottle, and is eating creep feed well. She is somewhat friendly and would become more so with handling. I usually wean these around 8 weeks, so by late April she can go off milk and just be creep-fed. She can’t be weaned onto grass/ forage alone until she’s about four months old; so should continue to be offered high-protein creep through late June.

KMC 22134

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

Feminine and well-built white ewelamb. Positive EBVs across the board, especially strong on milk. She also has pretty good parasite resistant scores, and their accuracy is higher because Caleb (sire producer) measures. Pedigree traces back to Birch Cove Farm (David Coplen, Missouri), and a USDA ram from the Booneville Research Station we were able to borrow in the PNW in 2019. This ewe is complete out-of-state genetics, so can bring some fresh blood to your flock.

Photo taken December 2022. EBVs from PWWT data.   This ewelamb is weaned and ready to go to a new home today. She is NSIP genotyped. She has been exposed to a ram since 9/20/22 and may be bred to lamb as a yearling. She already looks pretty round, so I suspect she is pregnant.

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.

We are lucky to have him here on the west coast and he’s going to be an influencer for some time to come.
