2020 Sheep and Lambs for Sale

This year we've had some adorable babies and a great lambing season thus far.  *Update* all ewes have lambed!  The majority of our lambs were born in February, with the oldest being born at the end of January and the youngest being born April 16.  
We used two unrelated rams for this year's lamb crop.  All of our flock are registered Katahdins; and almost all of our lambs can be registered.  All registered lambs are sired by RR rams.  The one set of commercial twins we have are out of a registered ewe that I know is RR.
We had 20 bred ewes this year.  
Our farm has participated for the last couple of years in the Virginia Tech Southwest AREC ram study.  This is a great program!  I'm so thankful for all the help I've received in learning about sheep improvement through this.   
So here is our 2020 sale catalog!  I'll update it as frequently as I'm able.  Please feel free to contact me for additional information or questions you may have.

​Onyx is a registered yearling ewe pictured here with her two twin ram lambs. She is a super good mom. She had a rough start to the year. I had a difficult time getting her weight up. She looks terrific now though. She had a giant growth spurt and really got taller. Her coat is sleek and shiny and so so black. This photo taken March 24.

*SOLD*
​This is registered yearling ewe Tink. She is still pregnant in this photo taken March 24. She had a single gorgeous black and white spotted ram lamb that weighed 11 lbs at birth. She was an excellent mother. At about two weeks old, her lamb was stolen from the field by some kind of a wandering predator. Tink was very upset. She has dried off fine and is in good health currently. And now I'm getting a LGD.

Daphne is a registered 6 year old.  She is pictured here with her twin ram lambs born April 15.  They are all for sale.  Photo taken May 19.

Dahlia is a yearling pictured here with her twins.  She has performed beautifully!  She and both twins are for sale.  She has a boy and a girl.

Check out this guy!  I would have sent him to the Virginia Tech Ram Test were it not canceled this year.  

This is not an exhaustive list.  I'm still working on it!  I just haven't gotten it all typed up yet.  If you want check out my post, the-lord-is-my-shepherd.html you can see my one set of commercial twins available as soon as they wean.  (Their mom Ruby Sue is not for sale.)  My niece named the lambs Poppy and Branch.  They come from great stock and should make a solid addition to a commercial breeding program; or Poppy I'm sure would make a great pet.
