Sheep For Sale
Market Lambs
LAMBS AVAILABLE NOW (3/1/24)
If you are interested in lambs for 4-h, please take note of your county’s birth date requirements (Lorain county market sheep projects must be born after Jan 1 according to the 2023 guidelines)
My sheep are Polypay whitefaced lambs and are usually ready to go to their new home as feeder lambs 2 months after they are born. I have lambs available now that can be ready to go today, and some younger lambs if you aren’t quite ready at home yet.
If you are looking for market lambs that are ready for harvest, oldest lambs should be 60 lbs by Easter and 80 lbs by Orthodox Easter 2024. Yeild on a lamb is about 45% of live weight, so think about how much meat you want to end up with and we can work backwards from there.
Ewe Lambs
I will evaluate my stock of lambs for possible breeding ewes after they are weaned.
If you are interested in ewe lambs for breeding purposes, please click the “ewe lambs” button below and make an inquiry. These lambs will not be ready to breed until at least September 2024 if not a little later, so keep that in mind.
This round of lambs is all 100% Polypay and I would recommend you only buy twins or triplets, no singles, if you are interested in breeding (number of lambs per lambing can be genetic).
In the future I will have some lambs that are out of my 100% Polypay rams and my 50% Ile De France 50% Polypay/Ile De France/Dorset ewes if you are interested in that mix and have time to wait until my next breeding.
Ram Lambs
Ram lambs must be reserved.
I castrate all of my ram lambs at 4-5 days old (making them whethers and useless for breeding) unless there is an existing inquiry about keeping them as rams, so please reach out as soon as possible for pricing, to come see my sheep, or with intent to purchase ram lambs.
I will require a 20% holding fee because I do not normally keep ram lambs and it is extra management on my part to keep them separate from the rest of the flock.
