We've been busy this summer evaluating about 60 ram lambs for growth and parasite resistance in a grazing environment with supplementation. We are very happy with the data set generated, associated estimated breeding values, and the opportunity to identify superior rams for forage-based production systems in the Southeast. That said, we will not be having a ram sale this fall. Instead, we've decided to hold elite rams over the winter and offer them in three consignment sales (Wolfpack Round Up in April, NSIP Center of the Nation Sale in July and EAPK Annual Sale in July) and one online sale next spring. Expect to see about 25 yearling NSIP Katahdin rams offered next year!
