The plan

Hi all,

So here is the goal or plan if you will:  I would like to sell all rams.  Someone better come get them quick so I don't lose my resolve.  There are some very handsome rams out there.  I am afraid I might not have enough will power to not put together a breeding group, if any are left come fall.  So  the ewe plan, I would like to keep somewhere between 12-15 for my own pet/hand-spinner/foundation flock.  That being said I would like to keep a variety and I might be flexible on some availability.  For instance, I have a few adult ewes I could keep the adult or the lamb but not both.  So please inquire.  I have had some inquires about Pearl so I will post some photos of her today, and some of her lambs past and present.  I am keeping her adult and yearling daughters Opal and Topaz, and she had ram lambs this year, so no swap available with Pearl.   All sheep/lambs in photos with Pearl except when noted in caption, are her lambs from various years.  So with out further a do, some photos for you:

Rammies


All rams are for sale.  If not all are gone by fall, I may breed just a select few ewes and would be comfortable using any of the rams.  All have really beautiful fleece, nice horns, and laid back personalities.  Here a few photos of the yearling boys I took today.  I will try to get more photos of the ram lambs tomorrow.  Notice how nice their fleece is coming in as their "bad hair cuts" are growing out.  All very consistent all the way to their tails.  All these ram are either 50% (F1) or 25% (F2) UK bloodlines.  A variety of colors and patterns to choose from, all should carry moorit and spots.  The grey flecked may not carry moorit but likely does as both his parents were Bb, and the black ram may not carry spots, but he is true black with no sign of iset.













 
Okay so they liked getting their pictures taken as well as the camera shy lambs did!
