Hi all,
We have decided to sell our Katahdin sheep farm and operation in Angelica, NY.
We had a baby this past year and decided we’re going to prioritize a larger dream house over dream farm.
We’re selling the sheep flock and equipment to help pay for closing costs, and the farm itself of course if you know anyone looking. See our farm page here: https://fireflyfarm-angelica.com/
Sheep (mostly pictured): https://fireflyfarm-angelica.com/meet-the-flock
30-40 Katahdin ewe flock (11k for 30, or $400 per)
a handful of meat quality ram lambs left ($200-300 per)
a yearling fancy ram (Bullseye) we planned to use as our herd sire this year, added for meatiness ($1,000)
A commercial mature black ram ($350)
Other animals:
A registered 1.5 year old female Karakachan livestock guardian dog in need of a new job
And potentially 1-2 Great Pyrenees, mother and son duo (5 year old intact male & 8 year old fixed female)
100 ish chickens
Equipment: https://photos.app.goo.gl/RD3WjDGbY9GgumS77
20k worth of Sydell equipment that we bought last September (can sell lightly discounted, but not a ton)
30 sets of folding 5ft lambing jug panels (originally $5k, +$300 for wall connectors)
= 60 5ft panels
or 15 free standing 4 sided jugs
but have the wall connectors so you can make much more than that depending on configuration
30 8ft divider panels (originally ~$7.2k, +$500 for wall connectors)
5 8ft fencline feeders (originally ~$8k, ~$800 per)
4 Ritchie 150S 2 sided automatic heated waterers (unused)
Heated buckets (4?)
IBC tote feeders (2, $150 per)
8ft feeding troth (1)
Metal water tanks (2-3)
Rubbermaid water tanks (2-3)
8-12 premier 1 and starkline 164’ electric nets (can do half priced, $75 per)
Electric solar chargers with 12 volt batteries (2-3, originally $300-400 per, used for a few years, still working great, can do half priced, $150 per)
TSC feed panels for sheep (5-6’ long per, cut as lambing jugs with spiral connectors and clips)
4 large 12’ corral panels (unused, originally $640)
Horse trailer ($1,000)
4x5 chicken coop ($400)
Rabbit hutch 4x5 I think, mesh bottom, metal roof ($200)
Chicken plucker & scalding equipment
I’m sure I’m missing stuff
