2025 Ram Lambs for Sale

Our 2025 Lambs

Our 2025 lambs were born between March 18 and April 2. All will be registered or registrable with Katahdin Hair Sheep International. Inc. (KHSI), and all will be enrolled in the National Sheep Improvement Program (NSIP). Our lambs' weight gains are typically due solely to milk, hay and pasture/browse, as we are a forage-based operation, reserving grain for ewes only in late gestation/lactation. Lambs will be genotyped for scrapie resistance, with all testing RR or QR. They will be vaccinated twice to prevent overeating disease, tetanus and pneumonia .

Data: EBVs and Raising-Adjusted Weights

We use Estimated Breeding Values, which link the data from our animals to related animals on other farms, to give us a better idea of how our sheep's offspring will perform. These values also guide us as we purchase stock and make mating decisions. EBVs increase in accuracy over time as more farm connections and information are added. In our lamb profiles below, the NSIP IDs are hyperlinked to each animal's page in the NSIP Searchable Database when available, allowing you to see the full range of EBVs and trace pedigrees. At Bluestem Farm, we have selected for parasite resistance and good mothering.

We calculate Raising-Adjusted Weights to level the playing field for our lambs, accounting for gender, birth type, the age of their dams and other conditions that affect weight gain. In our profiles, we include a 60-day Raising-Adjusted Weight for all of the lambs that have reached that age.

Terms of Purchase

Our ram lambs will start at $550 and increase according to their NSIP estimated breeding values as well as visual appraisals. We require a $100 nonrefundable deposit to hold a lamb. Bluestem Farm will cover the cost of registration with KHSI.

Transportation

Transportation is the responsibility of the buyer, including fees for any required certificates of veterinary inspection. However, for those within 200 miles of Weatherford and/or the DFW area of Texas, we will deliver for a mileage fee, including the return trip.
