02/14/2012.  I am suspending ewe lambs sales until March, so I can better determine my needs.

02/13/2012.  The last few days have been difficult:

Lime 8 died.  Sudden onset, unsure of the cause.
Pink 8 died.  Same as Lime 8
Purple 39, a purchased Suffolk, died of a rectal prolapse.
Blue 6 died of ketosis.  I suspect she was carrying quintuplets or maybe even more judging by her massive size.
Black 8 aborted a set of triplets, she is fine though.

At first, I believed that Lime 8 and Pink 8 died of ketosis, but now I am not sure.  They died rather suddenly, which is generally not characteristic of the disease.

The death of Blue 6 dropped the Index values of PF3's lambs considerably.

* Artificially reared lambs are raised by my daughter and are not included in the performance figures of the ewe.

 

Wanted: top rams of any breed/cross.  If you have a ram lamb for sale that comes from exceptional lineage, regardless of breed, contact me with stats on the ram's production and health history.

The best way to contact me is via email (clint@auderersheep.com).  I check email at least once a day and usually can respond within 24 hours.  (I am more difficult to reach via telephone.)  I look forward to hearing from you!

Attention! Lambs Wanted!
I buy feeder lambs in the Spring and Fall.  I'm looking for groups of 25 -250 lambs.  Transportation can be provided, depending on the group size and distance.  I generally buy lambs in May (50-60 lbs), June (60-90 lbs) and October (65-90 lbs), but contact me anytime.

Selling lambs direct has many advantages:

  • No commission.  This can be as much as $8 per head or $0.15 per pound.

  • Save on hauling, I pick the lambs up.

  • Pre-negotiated price, avoiding sales barn volatility.

  • Premium price for lambs with good breeding, pre-weaned, vaccinated, shorn and properly docked lambs.

  • Sell when you have time, weekends, evenings, holidays, etc.
