Summer 2022 we bred all Registered St Croix, Registered Katahdin and Recorded Katahdin ewes to a Registered St Croix Ram so all 2023 lambs will either be potentially Registered St Croix or Commercial Crossbreds which are 50% or greater St Croix. Any out of the Registered Katahdin ewes can be Recorded Katahdin if that paperwork is necessary to your breeding program. All breeding stock will come with a generated pedigree from Ranch Manager based on the animals we have entered into the system. Some adult ewes will also be available later in the Spring as well after weaning has occurred and the ewes have regained condition.
Market Stock
Market stock consists of animals that didn’t make the cut as breeding stock. Most of the time they are lambs, but occasionally the adult ewes may end up with problems that cause them to be unable to be good breeding stock any longer. These are the culls of the flock and ram lambs will be castrated.
Market lambs are weighed and then we decide on a price. We do not sell by the pound. Lambs weigh from 30-70lbs at weaning. Most are between 50-65lbs. Prices are firm.
Here are the averages:
30-39lbs $85
40-49lbs $110
50-59lbs $135
60-69lbs $160
70-79lbs $185
