***A Note about Bred Ewe Lambs

                 Up to 30% of ewe lambs may not cycle their first fall, and although we have had few issues with our one-winters during lambing, universal experience shows that they undergo a higher rate of difficulties during labor than experienced ewes, and are more likely to require intervention on behalf of the mother, the lamb or both. For this reason, bred ewe lambs will only be sold to shepherds who have already experienced at least one lambing season, or who are experienced with other livestock births. Our fertility guarantee does not extend to ewes under one year old.

 

Lambs & Adults for Sale

Note: Color code for gender/ age: Female Lamb, Male Lamb, Female Adult, Male Adult

All 2010 breeding stock (except for bred ewes)  must be picked up or delivered during the month of September.  We will make a northern New England Delivery trip as needed (VT, ME, NH), and a southern New England delivery trip (MA, CT, RI) as needed within those time frames. All shipping is at cost, please inquire.

Five Steps to Purchase Sheep from Ledgewood Farm

Step 1: Ask Your Questions. As you peruse the sales list please be in touch with any questions that you have as you determine which sheep you might like to add. We are more than happy to email additional photos or information as requested by interested parties. You are also welcome to schedule a time to visit the farm to meet the sales animals in person.

Step 2: Tell us Which Sheep you Want. The sooner you know, the more likely you are to get the ones you’re hoping for. Once you tell us which sheep you want we will mark them on the website as “Pending Deposit”

Step 3: Send the deposit within one week. A minimum deposit of $125 per sheep is due to hold the sheep until payment is completed. The deposit is nonrefundable, but will be applied towards the overall cost of your sheep. Once we receive the deposit we will mark your sheep on our website as “Deposit Received.” (If the deposit is not received within the one week grace period the “Pending Deposit” will be removed and other interested buyers may stake a claim on the sheep… It may seem harsh, but it helps us to ensure that we hold sheep only for serious buyers.)

Step 4: Schedule Pickup or Delivery. All breeding stock must be picked up or delivered during the month of September. We will make 2 delivery trips if needed within that window, one to Northern New England (VT, NH and ME) and another to Southern New England (MA, CT, RI).  All delivery is at cost, please inquire.

Step 5: Complete Payment. As soon as you pay the remaining balance on your sheep, they will be marked on our website as “Paid in Full”. Sheep will not be marked as “SOLD” until they have left our farm.

Please note: If you are picking up your sheep, payment must be completed before they are loaded into your vehicle. In cases of delivery, payment must be completed before the sheep are unloaded at your property.

CREAM OF THE CROP

Why aren’t there more sheep for sale? Simple: We only offer a few of our very best lambs and only a handful of adults each year. You can be sure that all the animals listed are quality. Everyone that’s not is sent to the meat locker.
