I'm downsizing before winter and need to lighten the chore load before freezing temperatures hit.
- 4 ewe lambs (7 months old)
- $1,000 takes all four
- Will sell 2 for $500
- 3 white, 1 black and white
- Closed herd with no health concerns
These girls are East Friesian/Lacaune dairy sheep, a dash of Awassi.
### Full disclosure
I originally planned to keep two for breeding and butcher the other two. The two I intended for butcher are only because of how they were bred—their sire is also their maternal grandfather. This is the only line breeding I've done in my flock. I did this to bring their dam into milk and evaluate her potential, although I would have preferred to use a third ram.
The other two have stronger Awassi influence. I've since sold their sire, and I'm only keeping a few Awassi crosses because, overall, they're just not the direction I want to take my flock.
These girls could work well for butcher, a fiber flock, or potentially milkers. While they come from proven dairy genetics, I can't guarantee future milk production or udder conformation, and I've priced them accordingly.
