Registered Katahdin ram lamb for sale *SOLD*

Charlie is here to make lambs!

Time for the kids to leave home
This year we bred all of our Nubian does to a boer buck. We will be offering several doe kids for sale in the coming months. These does will fit well in a commercial herd. They are being raised by their dams, all of whom have strong mothering instincts and produce lots of rich milk. Please call for more information.
SOLD OUT !
Out of the Whey Farm is sold out for 2016!
Cocoa's lambs are here!

First lamb has arrived!

Lambs due first week of February
Cocoa is due to lamb February 1, 2016, and Calico will follow soon after. Check back to see baby pics and find out what we will be offering for sale this year. With such a small operation, we sell out quickly, but a deposit will hold a lamb or lambs until they are weaned.
SOLD OUT !
Things are returning to normal now that the last of the kids and lambs have departed for new homes. We downsized dramatically, finding a home for two does and sending our boer buck Curly off to a new herd of boer does! This fall we will return to breeding two of the remaining three does to a purebred Nubian buck in order to produce one or two quality replacements. Our purebred Katahdin ewe lambs go quickly, so give us a call if you would like to reserve one or two. Have a wonderful summer!
This year's ewe lambs are sold!
All three ewe lambs have found a new home. They will be staying together to become the foundation of a Katahdin breeding program for Matt Boyd of Acampo, CA. Matt is off to a good start with these three RR lambs from a small flock that has consistently tested negative for OPP and CL. Congratulations, Matt!
Lambs have arrived!

2015 Crop of Lambs and Kids
Lambs are due the first week of February. Both ewes are expecting triplets, and all lambs will be RR. Once again all five Nubian does are bred to Curly, our boer buck. Kids will begin to arrive around February 10. Last year the doe kids sold fast, going to boer breeders looking for clean, tested Nubian-cross does to add milk production to their market boer herds. If you would like to reserve a doe kid this season, please call or email us for more information.
Hey, who are you???

The lambs are here!
On February 10 Calico had two ram lambs. Two days later Cocoa produced one ram lamb and one ewe lamb. All are healthy and already running circles and figure 8s in the pasture. Cocoa's ram lamb has already been sold and will join a small flock later this summer as a breeding ram.
The nursery is ready!
This is the last day of January, and Cocoa and Calico are both due right around Valentine's day! Ultrasounds showed both ewes carrying twins this year. I am glad to know that Calico is not having quads again, although a third lamb could have been hiding behind the other two during the ultrasound. The ram responsible this season is a beautiful RR Katadhin owned by Blue Oaks Farm in Grass Valley. We will post pictures as soon as the lambs make their entrance into the world.
