Delicious - Sustainable - Diverse

Family owned & operated small farm in rural North Idaho

SHEEP FOR SALE


I maintain a flock of dairy ewes and breeding rams, all very high percentage East Friesian. East Friesians are the gold standard for dairy sheep as they are the best producers and ideal for homestead and small dairy conditions. Sheep typically have smaller teats than cows and goats (excluding mini goats) and they are located more on the sides of their udders, which is considered normal and completely acceptable. I encourage individuals new to dairry sheep to consider milking methods that take this feature of sheep into consideration. The breed is known not only for milk production but also for being gentle, having non-woolly tails (no docking needed), and mid-grade fleece that needs to be shorn at least yearly.

Dairy Ewes (Bred / In Milk)

Lambing has started though some ewes were not put in with a ram until December and will lamb mid-May. Most of my ewes single the first year and twin after that, but it is not guaranteed. I keep my sheep in a flock and do not raise them as pets, so for more gentle sheep used to being handled, I recommend bottle-fed ewes. If desiring them to be pet-friendly, I recommend regular interactions, treats, and routine.

I am selling many very nice ewes this year as I'm downsizing by flock more than I due in the typical year. I will be able to drop sheep off along my route to Tillamook County, Oregon (from the Coeur d'Alene, Idaho area) on a Friday (probably the 10th or 24th). For these sheep, I require a 50% deposit for any sheep hitching a ride on this trip but no extra delivery fee. Email me if you're interested in this arrangement.

DISCOUNTS: There are no discounts for buying the first two sheep. If you buy three or more adult sheep, there is $25 discount on the group for each sheep purchased after the first two. A grou of three sheep is a $25 discount, four sheep a $50 discount, five sheep a $75 discount, etc.

​Sheep listed from oldest to youngest.  Posting last updated March 31, 2026.

​White twin bottle raised and is very gentle. She singled in 2025 with minor assistance and was an excellent mother.

​2025 Fleur ($550)​: White twin ewe dam-raised. She is priced higher as I think she has the best chance of some really nice production genes of the group. She is high percentage East Friesian and just less than 5% Lacaune, exposed to white East Friesian ram Seamus.

Bottle Baby Lamb Waitlist

I accept requests for lambs each spring so that when they are born, I am able to notify potential buyers immediately that their lambs are available (usually when 2 days old). I respect first reserved, first offered assuming that the lamb is able to be picked up relatively quickly (within about 5 days). I may require a deposit to hold them but will let you know if that is the case. (This posting last updated March 15, 2026.
Waitlist Request:
1) C.C.: 2 ewe lambs
2) S. D-M.: TBD ewe lambs
​3) S. M.: 1-2 ewe lambs
4) A. B.: 1 ram lamb
​5) J. W.: 1 ewe lamb
6) S. V.: 2 ewe lambs
7) A. J.: 1 ewe lamb
​8) L. S-F.: 1-2 ewe lambs


Please note: Every time I have a list reserving anticipated animals, I do have potential buyers drop out. I do not require a deposit to get on the list. I apologize in advance if I am unable to fill everyone's request, but I do my best. Those whose requests I do not fill and are interested in waiting, I will put them at the top of the next year's reservation list.

Bottle Baby Lambs (May-June 2026)

​These lambs will need to be fed after being purchased. Lamb formula is usually available at farm stores such as North 40. The lamb price is based on the age of the lamb when you pick them up. Bottle feeding results in very gentle and friendly sheep. All lambs are fed mother's colostrum during the first 24 hours of life. I anticipate 2026 lambing to start the middle of May. The bulk of laming usually occurs for two weeks 

Dairy Ewe Lamb: $300 if up to 7 days old, then +$25 for each additional week of age.
​Dairy Ram Lamb: $500 if up to 7 days old, then +$25 for each additional week of age.
Dairy Wether Lamb: $50 if up to 7 days old, then + $25 for each additional week of age.

​I only keep a very few of the male lambs intact selected from my best ewes.  ​For bottle lambs, I do not offer discounts for purchases of multiple lambs.

​Please email me if you are interested in being put on an email list for updates on bottle baby lambs: [email protected].
