Redid current breeding groups if all ewes sell. And if they don't, they'll be left in a pen alone.


Plutonium spot
183, 163, 185, 214, 158

WallaWalla-BingBang white
193, 149, 136, 112, 139, 19220, 19203, 238, 137

Magnemite spot
241, 212, 170, 226, 197, 243, 169


Once those ewes sell, hopefully soon, I'll recheck the rest and decide who else can go.

Wow... You really are downsizing. I admire that. Be able to switch gears as needed. Heck, I just sent pics for a buck that wasn't for sale but, could be & is 🤣 inquiry from prev customer. Heck yeah!
Still have 11 lambs from this year. Ugh. Sold their moms, so don't want to sell them. 😅

Two left as wethers!
Two more may also be chosen later on. Then just the spotted one left, but potential buyer is 6.5hrs south and may not want to hire transport.

Nothing worth mentioning on the 11-12 ewes listed yet.

6.5hrs isn't that bad of a drive! LOL, it's about 9 hour mark I want to die. We used to long bomb 14hrs and 800miles down to Texas from Iowa.
I went with my mentors to a sheep sale in Oklahoma and we drove from here (Florida) to Dallas in like 14-15 hours and only stopped a few times on the way

Are you totally done with sheep? Are you going to keep a few for pets?

What about switching to hair sheep? Offer up the best for breeding stock, take the rest to auction. Gotta keep your Ag exemption on the farm. A meat breed always sells at auction. Just keep a small flock to make it easy on yourself.

Don't have an ag exemption.
Not going to waste time on ugly hair sheep nor wake up at 6 to get them to an auction.
