💥Jamestown Ram & Ewe Sale Preview💥

Pen of 3 of Dorset Fall-born Ewe Lambs consigned to the Jamestown Ram and Ewe Sale sponsored by the North Dakota Lamb & Wool Producers Association.

These mid-October ewe lambs represent the quality we are striving for with our Dorset program. These females are backed by multiple generations of natural fall lambing genetics. They are stout, easy fleshing and are ready to breed this fall or in the spring for fall lambs. DNA results will be posted soon and as a bonus, they will also be halter broke.

Please contact us if you have any questions or would like to learn more about these or the rest of our consignment.

The U.S. sheep industry plays an important role in supporting the economic viability and vitality of rural America and beyond.
