Important!
If you would like to see the animals before deciding to purchase, please make an appointment and be prepared to follow our biosecurity protocols mentioned in the Ranch Visits page.
Prices are subject to change as the market changes.
Please verify with us when you ask to be on the waiting list.
Prices listed are not a guarantee we will have them for sale. We have potential for animals in any of these categories, but if they don’t make the cut, there won’t be any available in that category.
Feeder Lambs
Feeder lambs consists of lambs that didn’t make the cut as breeding stock. Ram lambs will be castrated in most cases. We do not keep feeder lambs to grow out to finished weights. You must have your own facility for that purpose. We also do not take feeder lambs to processing facilities, that is your responsibility.
They are weighed at weaning (approx 60-90 days of age) and at 120 days. We do not sell by the pound. Once our wait list has been picked up, the leftover lambs are weighed once a month and price adjusted accordingly, until I decide they need to go to auction.
Lambs weigh from 30-70lbs at weaning. Most are between 40-65lbs. Prices are firm.
Here are the averages:
30-39lbs – $85
40-49lbs – $110
50-59lbs – $135
60-69lbs – $160
70-79lbs – $185
Adult ewes/rams that can no longer be breeding stock are $100 or less depending on condition and market price.
Un-papered Breeding Stock
Un-papered are sound lambs who fell slightly short of our rigorous demands for Registration/Recordation, yet are better than feeder lambs. They can range from 50% to almost purebred Katahdin or are purebred St Croix. Ram lambs from Recorded Katahdin dams will be banded and sold as feeder lambs.
| Lambs 4- 7 months old | Lambs 7-12 months old (without being bred) |
| Un-papered Katahdin (rams or ewes) $300 | Un-papered Katahdin (rams or ewes) $325 |
| Un-papered St Croix (rams or ewes) $225 | Un-papered St Croix (rams or ewes) $250 |
Adult ewes/rams that were previously Registered/Recorded may be sold as un-papered when they are still good enough for breeding but not as prolific. Prices are determined once each animal is evaluated.
Katahdin Breeding Stock
These lambs are percentage or purebred Katahdin.
Those that have papers are Recorded/Registered with Katahdin Hair Sheep International.
Paperwork for lambs will be handled by us and mailed to you from the Registry.
Registered Katahdin have either been upgraded (or have ancestors that have been upgraded) from 87.5+% Recorded or have a long history of being purebred Katahdin.
Recorded Katahdin are either purebred that lost papers somewhere in their background or crossbred (likely with some percentage of Dorper or St Croix for the most part). These animals are held to the same standards as Registered breeding stock, however ram lambs from Recorded dams are castrated and sold as feeder lambs.
| Lambs 4- 7 months old | Lambs 7-12 months old (without being bred) |
| 50-74% Recorded Katahdin (ewes only) $325 | 50-74% Recorded Katahdin (ewes only) $350 |
| 75-87% Recorded Katahdin (ewes only) $350 | 75-87% Recorded Katahdin (ewes only) $375 |
| 87.5-99% Recorded Katahdin (ewes only) $375 | 87.5-99% Recorded Katahdin (ewes only) $400 |
| Registered Katahdin (rams or ewes) $400 | Registered Katahdin (rams or ewes) $425 |
St Croix Breeding Stock
These are purebred St Croix.
Those that have papers are Registered with St Croix Hair Sheep Breeders.
Paperwork for lambs will be handled by us and mailed to you from the Registry.
| Lambs 4- 7 months old | Lambs 7-12 months old (without being bred) |
| Registered St Croix (rams or ewes) $325 | Registered St Croix (rams or ewes) $350 |
Deposits
Prices for breeding stock will be listed for each animal on the sales pages.
$100 deposits will be made for breeding stock sheep to hold until they are available or if they are not getting picked up right away.
Adult Ewes Exposed to Rams
If there are any adult ewes being sold, they have the option to be bred before leaving. A $25 exposure fee plus payment in full for the ewe must be received in lieu of the $100 deposit. Dates for breeding and pickup will be discussed at that time.
