Our Prices and Terms - the page you've been waiting for.
OUR PRICES
Adult Breeding Rams: $300
Rams will be a minimum of 12 months old with a guarantee that they will not have scurs. See our Ram Policy for details.
Adult Ewes: $200
At Lone Star we consider ewes to be adults at about one year of age and we have never bred a ewe any younger than that. We are not here to pass judgment on anyone, we have just found that this works best for us. If a ewe is bred at one year or even later for some, she is close to being fully developed and her pregnancy will not deplete her of the vitamins and nutrients that she may still need for her own body. That way we are more assured of being blessed with a healthy lamb, or two, or sometimes even three, and a happy ewe who is not fretting. Fretting ewes are nerve-wracking, especially for a first-time buyer.
Ewe Lambs: $175
We do not allow breeding lambs to go to their new homes until they are at least 3 months old. They must have time to nurse and grow with mom, be weaned, be eating well on their own and gaining, and be over crying for mom. Depending on how far they will be traveling and how many hours they will be on the road makes a big difference in the life of a lamb. We want your lambs to have a good start and we want you to be successful in your endeavors with your sheep. Let’s give each of you the best beginning, shall we?
Market Lambs: Priced per pound on the hoof.
OUR TERMS
Each breeding animal will be registered before being sold and will be accompanied by a registration certificate signed over to you along with a pedigree when they leave our farm. Transportation is the responsibility of the buyer. However, we will try to meet you halfway to cut down your transportation expenses. We will have a vet supply a health certificate for you and we will have any tests performed that need to be done for the animals to enter your state, but the cost is yours as the buyer. A health certificate is $30 for one or more animals, but it is mandatory for animals leaving the state. A 50% deposit is required to reserve your sheep, then the balance is due in 30 days.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATION
Members of the Barbados Blackbelly Sheep Consortium will be given first priority when it comes to the dispersal of our sheep,
