Rams For Sale

February 8, 2021February 25, 2021 Amy Wheeler

I've decided to sell Titan and Dasher. Titan's an unregistered, mostly purebred Katahdin. I was using him on my commercial flock but I really don't need him anymore. He's a sweet ram, easy to handle. We've had him since he was 4 months old. I have a couple ewes bred to him this year and… Continue reading Rams For Sale

As of right now we have the Registered St Croix, Registered Katahdin, Recorded Katahdin, and Commercial Crossbred flocks of ewes as… Continue reading Sheep Goals
