Katmoget ram lambs looking good! Mapleton Destiny's above and Minwawe Sprinkle's below (he is very square I just caught him turning funny). Both by Mapleton Zeus. $275 each/ $150 as wethers
Mapleton Storm (Minwawe Bahama and Minwawe Serendippity) yearling moorit HST ram. I am keeping both his full sisters, Destiny and Hope, so I feel I can afford to let him go. If he is not sold by fall he will get a breeding group. Price $300
Swiftriver Neville AI, Heights Orion 3 year old ram. I REALLY love this ram and would like to use him again this fall, but if someone wants him before then I am willing to part with him (just means I will keep more of his lambs). Otherwise I would like him to stay for the first part of breeding season, available mid November for pick up. I don't plan to winter over any mature ram this winter. He is stunning has wonderful hand to his fleece with very good microns, UK genetics,carries spots, and has a very calm respectful demeanor. Price $350

Modified? Shetland Crosses. And MORE puppy pictures.
Golden girls? Opal's twins above and Can Too Sky below looking pretty moorit. Waiting to see how their color comes through on the lambs as they mature. I will have my mioget yet...one of these days!
Shetland cross lambs. Corrie cross above and Cheviot below. All now wethers. Lee and Cheryl he can come home to you soon...let me know when you want to pick him up. I just have to tag him, but he has had his CDT and has been banded and tail docked. HE IS SO SOFT and very friendly.
Update on puppies. Rose was little sad over the weekend and whined after each puppy that has been sold left. Although I too was very sad to see them go, it is much easier with half as many to take care of. I think Rose feels the same way. Still have 4 solid liver or almost solid (white on the chest and toes on a few) pups for sale, two females and two males. All are very sweet and will be as beautiful as their mama Rosie and may have the hunting instincts of their Champion papa. Female above (SOLD) and male below
Another male: (SOLD)
Another female:

Wordless, Almost, Wednesday
Whistle and Watson are the proud parents of these twins born on Saturday, a doe and a buck. The buckling is for sale, the doe is staying here.
Solid liver pup.
Hershey has decided she loves her ram (wether) after all. She has taken over feeding him.
Our pup...still unnamed.
Those flashes by his eyes are looking gulmoget too, don't you think? Note the lack of horns.

Puppies as Promised and their update...
The five puppies that have sold, their families check their growth here so this is for them! On Thursday they turned 7 weeks and got their first shots. My vet has a large and small animal practice so she made a farm call and did the puppies and horses shots and took photos of the sheep and puppies! I dewormed the puppies the week before so they are up to date on everything they need before they leave. My vet told me about the lime vaccine. So when you start heartworm prevention, the test for that can also test for lime disease, and then you can have them get the preventative vaccine for lime. She said that a preventative for ticks is a good way to go as well. Either way she said they are seeing a lot more of it in the state.
The puppies are going great, eating Iams puppy food and going outside every chance they can for playtime! Many are doing really well and are going potty outside a lot of the time. We are trying to keep them out of my garden but the tulips are just the right height for them to swipe the heads off as they run by. Rose is teaching them not to bite. She gently puts her mouth around theirs and closes it if they bite too hard. She also teaches them then when she barks a certain urgent way, like when two wandered into the ram pasture, that they better high tail it back to her. It is fascinating. She is not nursing them much any more but mothers them in lots of different ways. They play hard and then...

...come in and crash! Now that is a dog pile! Nothing like a good nap after a lot of fresh air and sunshine. They will be 8 weeks old Thursday so they will be ready to go home anytime after that. I am so pleased they are going to such wonderful loving homes. I will see you all soon! I hope I can find equally good home for the rest. They certainly deserve it! They are ultra sweet like their mom and strikingly beautiful/handsome like their dad. I will get more individual photos of the five sold later this weekend so check back if you don't see your pup in these group photos.
