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 early June, two ewes in milk are available, ram lambs available from the early breeding group, the late breeding group lambs are too young to wean now. From the late breeding group 3 ewe lambs and 1 ram lamb will come available plus one ewe is still pregnant. All our ewe lambs from the early breeding group are sold. In early November, three february 2026 born rams will be available. These are the best three I plan to use over my ewes in October. November breeding leads to April born Lambs.
Nootka $650
Nootka gave birth to beautiful spotted twins in late February 2026, she was a great mom. Currently her twins are weaned and I have been milking her daily. She is a dream to hand milk, stands well with near zero kicking and has large easy to milk teats and a good size orifice. Nootka is 50% dairy (East Friesian x Lacaune) and 25% Icelandic and 25% Finn. Nootka's mother is Angelica with the most beautiful cow size teats. She does a good job holding body condition. Currently her milk yield is 31oz, about 4 cups per milking (not per day).
Lupin $600
Lupin gave birth to twins in March 2026. She has fun color and nice quality fleece. She is still a little shy to get onto the stanchion and is learning to stand for milking without kicking. Lupin has moderate size teats and could be a good choice for someone who machine milks or is a patient hand milker. Her yield is currently 46 oz per milking or 5.75 cups after a 12 hour separation from her lamb. Lupin is available now on her own or with her March born son as a family group. Monther and son together $850. 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. My hope is that Lupin will become equally easy to milk as an older ewe.
I love her spotty colors, although as an adult she is darker.

The May/June born lambs will be available for pick up in July/August as they reach age 8 weeks. Lambs age 7 weeks or less are only sold in family groups (see more on family groups below), together with their siblings and mother. I begin to accept hold deposits on lambs when they are 4 weeks old.
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.
Prices:
Ewe in milk $600 - $800
Ewe lamb age 8 -16 weeks $350 - $450
Ram lamb age 8 - 16 weeks $300 - $400
Bottle Lamb age 2 days to 4 days old $100
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.
