Lambing Conclusions...

As luck would have it, lambing concluded yesterday while I was out of town. Lambing season was supposed to start March 28th and end April 20th. The season's length was pretty typical, beginning with Ella lambing April 1st and ending with Mary lambing April 19th. We had a total of 13 lambs born: six rams and seven ewes. All are thriving, even the bottle fed ewe.

Some additional stats:
Colors: 4 white, 1 black, 3 gray, 1 moorit, 4 musket

Weights: 5 lbs to 9 lbs

Multiples: 2 singled, 4 twinned, 1 tripled

Lambs sired by Allante: 7 (3 rams, 4 ewes)
Lambs sired by Deane: 6 (3 rams, 3 ewes)


 Introducing...

Ewe #1
White ewe (BBB?/AaA?)
Ella x Allante
4/1

Incredibly soft, even fleece on this ewe. Nice wide stance and nicely shaped tail. Tempted to keep this one...

SOLD





Ewe #2
White ewe (B?B?/AaA?), with phaeo markings
Ella x Allante
4/1

Equally soft, even fleece as her sister. Adorable phaeo markings will fade as she ages. Feminine features and a narrower build than her sister. Very mild mannered. 

Available - $275




Ram #1
Gray, blettet ram (BBB?/AgAa)
Cali x Deane
 4/4

A very friendly ram lamb. He would make an excellent wether. Black fleece will fade to gray as he ages. Phaeo tipped ears will come and go with the seasons. Horns look to be growing outward. Would make a decent ram if he wasn't so friendly! 





Ewe #3
Gray ewe (BBB?/AgAa)
Cali x Deane
4/4

Just as friendly as her brother. Her black fleece will fade to a dark gray. Not a super crimpy fleece, but could change as she ages like her mother. Great Shetland tail and nicely put-together conformation.









Ewe #4
White ewe (BbB?/AaA?)
Madeleine x Allante
4/8

One of three, this girl doesn't miss a beat. She much more adventurous than her brothers and has quite the personality. A sweet little ewe with great conformation and soft fleece. This ewe will not be for sale.





Ram #2
Musket ram (BbB?/AgAa)
Madeleine x Allante
4/8

This boy won't be siring any lambs, but he has a beautiful fleece. Always on the move, thus the horrible photo!







Ram #3
White ram (BbB?/AaA?)
Madeleine x Allante
4/8

Always by his sister's side, this ram is a leggy boy. Beautiful white fleece, this boy would make a nice fiber pet as a wether. Very mild mannered.

Ram #4


Grey ram (BBB?/AgAa)
Myra x Deane
4/12

A very quiet boy with a cute face.

Ewe #5
Musket, krunet ewe (BbBb/AgAa)
Myra x Deane
4/12

Twin to the above ram, this ewe is just adorable. Flashy highlights mark her throat and underside, complete with a white star on the top of her head. Very nice conformation.  This ewe will not be for sale.

Ram #5
Black, krunet ram (BBB?/AaAa)
Lucy x Allante
4/15

This big boy is always right by his mother. At nine pounds, he was ready to join the flock after just a day. 

Ewe #6
Moorit, krunet ewe (BbBb/AaAa)
Shelly x Allante
4/18

This tiny girl has incredibly consistent, crimpy, soft, red-brown fleece. At just under five pounds, she's our smallest lamb of the season, out of a very petite two-year-old. More info to come...

SOLD

Ram #6
Musket, sponget ram (BbBb/AgAa)
Mary x Deane
4/19

This incredibly flashy boy is super soft. Fleece spots will most likely fade to cream and blend with the white. Too long of a tail to sire any lambs, but a fun boy to look at!

Ewe #7
Musket, krunet ewe (BbBb/AgAa)
Mary x Deane
4/19

This poor ewe was rejected by her mother; a first in 96 lambs! A nice silvery musket, her fleece will fade to a gray-tan as she ages. She's thriving on a bottle and enjoys following our dog, Gus, around. Soft fleece, and a real snuggle-bug, but a very long tail. Would make a great pet.


Available - This ewe was bottle fed and is very friendly. $275





Decisions on which lambs will be for sale are not yet finalized. Lambs listed as Holding have interested buyers. Please be patient as I make careful selections. Some ewes will make great breeding stock, others lovely pets; please consider your flock's goals before making decisions.
