Procedure for Purchasing Sheep:
If you would like to be put on my list for Spring 2025 lambs, this is how it works:
- "The List" Contact me as early as possible to be placed on "The List". In the (lambing season), I will start working down the list to clarify what types (ewe, ram, wether, starter flock etc.) and how many lambs are wanted. We manage our waiting list on first-come, first-served basis, with priority to those purchasing multiple animals. I do this because it is more difficult to put together a well-matched breeding group than it is to find an individual animal for a particular farm. When you find the animals you decide to buy, we usually ask a 50% deposit to hold them for you. That is the first exchange of money - there is no commitment until you choose your animals. This down payment is a NON-refundable deposit. We don't determine our pricing until lambs are on the ground; a lot depends on quality of the lamb (for commercial it will depend on feed costs) Payment will need to be received within two weeks of the request, or the lambs will be offered to the next person on the list. (If this happens to you, I will place your name at the bottom of the list. So it does not necessarily mean you won't be able to get lambs, but it does decrease your odds.) Do you have any CAReds now? If so, can you give me information about their bloodlines? Anything you can tell me about how they will be used will help me to match you with the lambs you are looking for!
all appropriate paperwork will come with the lamb.
- Health Issues All lambs will have had their tails docked (banded) . They will be current with their CD&T vaccinations. They will have a scrapie tag in an ear for identification and to meet transporting requirements. They will be dewormed and their hooves will be trimmed.
- Transportation If they are to be transported across state lines, the lambs will need a veterinarian exam and health certificate. I will have this done and the fee will be added to the cost of the lamb, any additional required testing specific to your state must be communicated with me, so as I get those testings done at the same time as the veterinarian exam this too is the responsibility of the buyer at the buyer's expense. If you are not sure which tests are required to import sheep to your state, please ask your local veterinarian. Click here for a website that also may be helpful with state to state transportation. Typically, the health certificate is only good for 30 days so if your plans change to pick up your lamb, you will be responsible for paying for another exam if that is necessary. If transporting in the back of a pickup, a cover over the pen (such as a tarp) is needed to provide shade from the sun and shelter from the wind.
- Timing Since we like to give our lambs the best opportunity for a healthy, happy, natural start in life, we leave them with their mothers until they are at least 8 weeks of age (weaning age).
- Bottle Lambs I do not sell bottle lambs before they are 12 weeks old. Although they are very labor-intensive to raise, I would rather have a healthy 12-16 week-old leave here for their new home, than a broken-hearted person calling me with tragic news - There are exceptions to this rule so contact us - If you want a lamb that has been a bottle baby, that may be possible, but the lamb will not have been raised as a "house pet" if we can keep from it, there are times when they will have to be raised in home but they will be integrated back in with the flock. Some of my most friendliest adult sheep were not bottle babies...so you can be assured that the time you spend interacting with your new lamb is of much more importance.
- Other Important Considerations We reserve the right to decide to not sell a sheep for any reason. Since they are a flock animal, if an individual is purchased it needs to "go home" to a flock or at least one other sheep. A wether (neutered male) is an ideal companion!
whether it is for wool, breeding, pet or freezer - I look forward to hearing from you with a bit more information about the type of lambs you are looking for
