Last autumn we introduced the ram for two lambing groups, late winter and late spring. Most of our mature ewes gave birth in February and early March. The later group, bred to give birth in May and early June 2026, includes several first freshener yearling ewes.
Currently, in September, one ram lamb and two ewe lambs are available from the late breeding group. In November, one ram lamb, born February 2026, will become available. He will breed my ewes in October. November breeding leads to April born Lambs.
Ram lamb available: Indigo's son. He was born in May 2026, dam raised. Will be old enough to breed ewes in November 2026 for March - April 2027 born lambs. His breed mix is about half dairy (east friesian and lacaune) and half Dorset poll (hornless), with a very small percent Finn. I cross Dorset into my East Friesan and Lacaune flock because they Dorset genetics help the dairy girls hold body condition, and improve carcass quality for a meat - dairy dual purpose sheep. My pure Dorset ewes are all obese housed and fed with my dairy ewes. The Dorset and Finn genes extend the breeding season, I love that with extended breeding season I can breed in spring for autumn born lambs and a winter milk supply. Location is 50 miles SW of Portland, near McMinnville. Udders shown are his adult relatives.

Dorset Grandmother's udder
Dairy Grandmother's udder
This white lamb is Froggy's Daughter, born May 2026. Her breed mix is 75% dorset and 25% Diary (east Friesian and Lacaune). She has been dam raised and has a sweet friendly temperment. She holds body condition far better than my pure dairy sheep and could be a good ewe for a dual purpose milk - meat flock.
Sale Pending - Lupin $650
Lupin has piebald wool with a color pattern like a holstein cow and nice quality fleece. She gave birth, unassisted, to twins in March 2026 and I milked her through July. Now, in August, she is dried off. She stands well for hand milking. Her yield in May was around 6 cups after a 10 - 12 hour separation from her lamb. In July after weaning her lambs, Lupins milk yield was 9 cups with once per day milking. Her breed mix is 75% dairy (East Friesian and Lacaune) x 25% Finn. Her mother is Marigold and paternal grandmother is Columbine.
She was one of my best and an easy dream to milk out.
I love her spotty colors.
A last category of lamb, very occasionally I sell bottle babies, these are lambs who are not likely to thrive with their mother. Sometimes the reason is that Mama ewe gave birth to quads and it drains her too much to feed 4 babies, sometimes I place one from a set of mismatched twins or triplets with one significantly smaller or larger than the siblings, only once have we had a ewe reject a lamb. Thankfully we have never, yet, had a ewe die of birthing complications, yet it happens and is another cause for a bottle lamb. Please reach out if you want to be on my call list for bottle babies. We ask that bottle babies are picked up ASAP at 2 to 3 days old is best.
Why I recommend Family Groups: When a ewe in milk is purchased on her own, without her lambs, the buyer will need to either dry off the ewe, or milk the ewe every day, preferable every 12 hours, including the evening of the day of purchase. Moving is stressful for sheep: leaving their flock mates, separation from their lambs, riding in a truck or trailer, integrating into a new flock on a new unfamiliar farm, being milked by a stranger, all of this is stressful for a ewe. Milking her out completely is likely to be a struggle. It puts a new owner's relationship with their new ewe on rough start and puts the ewe at higher risk of mastitis. If mama ewe can move with her lambs, in a family group - not alone, then the babies drink all her milk on the day of the move, maybe the first week on her new farm, she can settle in more gently. The ewe, and her new shepherd can build a kinder relationship for milking with more patience.
We take bio-security seriously. All visitors are asked to boot dip. We tested clean for WADDL small ruminant bio-security panel including Johnnes, CL and OPP, plus q-fever and Brucella ovis. Our flock is nearly closed and we only bring in a new ram once every couple years. All stock was tested at time of purchase and we occasionally re test older ewes.
