Offered for sale as a commercial Katahdin ewelamb $250

Cute chonky ewe, white with brown and black spots, born in January. She was the result of an accidental breeding last August, so I don’t know who her sire is. She’s had some familial prolapsing in her pedigree, enough that I think there is risk that it may repeat with her, so am selling her as a commercial/ pet. She can certainly be bred and will probably be a good dam, and prolapse is only lowly heritable, so it may never crop up for her. But if it does, then it would be recommended to send her and her daughters into the meat channel. Otherwise she could make a lovely pet and pasture ornament, or companion for horses. She could also be grown out as a slaughter animal, and depending on how fed, could be ready for butcher in October or so.
