I will be adding to this list in the next few days so keep checking back:)
EWE LAMBS
Hazel $300 SOLD
Hazel is a black ewe lamb with a small krunet out of Sheltering Pines Temperance (AFD 22.7 SD 4.8 CV21.0 CEM 8.5 CF 94.6–Temperance has a grade one fleece at four years old and is one of the finest ewes in my flock) and Sheltering Pines Bug (AFD 25.2 SD 5.3 CV 22.1 CEM 9.8 CF 84.4—Bug has a grade two fleece at five years old. Bug has a habit of producing friendly lambs and I love what he produces. I am keeping Hazel’s brother for evaluation. The only reason I am parting with this ewe lamb is that I have enough black in my flock.
Maggie $225 F2 Jamie
Under the Son Sonora(AFD 25.4 SD 5.9 CV 23.1CEM 10.9 CF 81.7 grade 2 fleece as a two year old) x White Pine Levi (AFD 27.5 SD 5.6 CV 20.3 CEM 10.1 CF 71.8 Grade 2 fleece as a 5 year old. Levi is an F1 Jamie which is a very rare bloodline in this country)
Maggie is a solid black ewe lamb with a small krunet with the most beautiful shaped face, just like her momma. Her teeth are on pad, and her legs are nice and straight. Her fleece will likely be long and wavy.
Ram Lambs
Riddick – $250
Riddick is out of one of my most beautiful and friendly ewes, Inara (AFD-25.4, SD 5.3 CV 20.8, CEM 8.9, CF 84.3) and Sheltering Pines Bug (AFD 25.2 SD 5.3 CV 22.1 CEM 9.8 CF 84.4—Bug has a grade two fleece at five years old.)
Inara and Bug both roo very well, and I think this guy will too. He looks like he will have a soft, crimpy fleece. He is fawn katmoget with some wild spots and carries moorit. I considered keeping him, but I already have a katmoget ram. He will have scurs of aberrant horns.
Riddick has LOVELY fleece.
Gomer $250 SOLD THANK YOU SHAWN!
Gomer got his name because when he was born he managed to wedge himself between a lambing jug and the wall. He was almost missed, and surely would have died but his momma was acting crazy and we found him.
Gomer is out of one of my favorite sheep, Sheltering Pines Jadore( AFD 20.9, SD4.6, CV 22.1, CEM 7.7 CF 98.3- Jadore has amazing stats, and has one of the best fleeces in my flock, she still has a grade 1 fleece as a four year old. She is modified, and so Bug carries modified so Gomer may be modified (only time will tell)and my favorite ram, Sheltering Pines Bug(AFD 25.2 SD 5.3 CV 22.1 CEM 9.8 CF 84.4—Bug has a grade two fleece at five years old.)
Gomer is a solid moorit (possibly modified) with scurs or aberrant horns. I am keeping Gomer’s twin sister, his mother, and his father. I considered keeping Gomer but decided to keep his sister instead.
Dontos- $150
Dontos is a moorit, yuglet. He is out of Lil Country Victoria AFD 25.3, SD 6.5, CV 25.7, CEM 12.2, CF 80.2- grade two fleece as a four year old) and Sheltering Pines Bug (AFD 25.2 SD 5.3 CV 22.1 CEM 9.8 CF 84.4—Bug has a grade two fleece at five years old.)
His crimp is coming in, his legs are slightly turned in at the hock, which he may or may not out grow.
Yarrow $200
Yarrow is out of Shepardwoods Easter Skerry (AFD 27.1 SD 5.5 CV 20.2 CEM 9.3 CF 74.1 – grade 2 fleece as a 5 year old)and Whispering Pines Jean Luc(AFD 25 SD 5.1, CV 20.3, CEM 8.5 CF 89.1 as a yearling- grade 2 fleece) Both parents have very nice confirmation and they seem to have passed that along to Yarrow. Jean Luc was third place at Jefferson Sheep and Wool out of 15 in the ram lamb class.
I believe Yarrow will have scurs or aberrant horns( which is to say he will not be fully horned, but depending on who he is bred to he could produce horned or polled stock). Yarrow has very nice legs, a lovely, straight back and good confirmation all around. He will likely have a more wavy style fleece.
Yarrow is a fawn katmoget and is likely homozygous katmoget.
Starling F2 Jamie
Black ram with a krunet out of Little Country Crow (AFD 26.8 SD 6.5 CV 24.3 CEM 12.1 CEM 12.1 CF 71.8) and White Pine Levi(AFD 27.5 SD 5.6 CV 20.3 CEM 10.1 CF 71.8 Grade 2 fleece as a 5 year old. Levi is an F1 Jamie which is a very rare bloodline in this country
Starling is a single and he is a quite the big boy. His crimp is starting to come in
CROSSBREDS – Finn x Shetland
Finn sheep are known for their large numbers of lambs 3-5 typically, and the ability to nurse those lambs. Many meat producers breed in some Finn to get lambing % up. Although these lambs will not be guaranteed to have any certain number of lambs, it is likely they will have 2-3 lambs per lambing as adults. Finn’s also have naturally short tails (for people like me who dislike docking) and are naturally polled (have no horns). The Finn’s are a big bigger than the Shetlands, and thus have more meat.
Frigg- $200
Frigg is a moorit Shetland x Finn out of one of my favorite ewes, Freya. Freya is a lovely Shetland, always gives me twins, and keeps her weight on even when milking. Frigg has a more open and wavy style fleece.
Natasha- $200
Natasha is a Finn ram (Eino) crossed on to our Charollais X, Fiona. Fiona is a BIG girl, and Natasha will be decent sized as well. Natasha is very sweet like her mother, and friendly.
Sandy-$200
Sandy is out of Obara and Eino. Obara is a cross of just about everything. She has a bit of Shetland, some BFL, as well as CVM. She is black with a krunet.
I have several Shetland x Finn cross rams for sale for someone wanting a terminal cross that may produce higher numbers of lambs born, with good mothering instincts and mothering abilities.
