Breeding Stock for Sale    

                 Welcome to the sales list! All of the sheep listed for sale are healthy, sound and of quality that we would keep ourselves. Those that don’t make the cut become pets or are sent to the meat locker.

When do you Usually have Sheep for Sale?

                 Our lamblist is usually published in mid to late spring, adult ewes may be posted throughout the summer and fall, and bred ewes in late fall, (and occasionally in the winter as well.) Breeding rams are generally posted in winter at a sale price, which reverts to full price when their lambs hit the ground in the spring. This sales list is routinely updated as sheep are sold.

Getting Your Sheep Home

                 If you are unable to pick up your sheep, we do deliver! Deliveries within 20 minutes of our farm in Putney, VT are free. For a free estimate, send us an email including your physical address.

Sirius” WDBF U

Polled moorit spotted twin

Dam’s lambing record: (1,2,2)

44% AI; Flekkur, Hnykill, Hunn, Heli, Noi

 

Sirius is the largest ram lamb I’ve seen… In full fleece he appears equal in size to some of our larger mature ewes! He is a cousin of Polaris (also a grandson of Jager’s 194L reserve champ ewe.) Neither of his parents has needed worming in 3 years under FAMANCHA management (Looking forward to saturating the gene pool here in some of that!) Sirius has lots to bring to the table: great size, nice muscling and a soft, full and heavy fleece– a testament to his Noi ancestry!

Available after breeding at sale price of $200 until lambs hit the ground in April.

On sale until April 09

Carries solid or mouflan, could carry spotting, black, moorit

Dam’s lambing record: (1,2,2,3,2)

66%AI; Heli, Flekkur, Dalur, Hnykill, Skreppur

Polaris has quality, quality, quality behind him! He is a grandson of BLW-194L, the 2005 National reserve Champion Ewe and his dam is 1/2 sister to Jager Farm’s star parasite resistant ram: 839R. His dam also has great prolificacy, and has raised triplets without assistance.

Polaris has great size and has nice breadth throughout. Great width across the front, too and a solid, straight and wide rear. Spectacular fleece!

Available  after breeding at sale price of $200 until lambs hit the ground in April.
