RAM LAMB FOR SALE


 This moorit and white ram lamb is still available for sale.  I was retaining him to evaluate his horns, but I think they will be fine, as they are now beginning to rotate outward as the curve continues up and then out.   If you do too and are interested email or call for more information.  He as the most perfect tail and bite I have seen on a lamb this young.  He is solid, square, nice straight top line, and has very uniform crimpy fleece all they way to his tail.  Rich moorit color, almost dark brown at the skin. SOLD!

Summer Sales Update

Sold: 2 registered ewes, 4 registered rams, one wether, 6 unregistered and cross bred ewes.

For Sale: one wether and one ram lamb.

Next year: There will be at least 2 adult registered ewes for sale, possibly a yearling ram or two, and our entire lamb crop minus 2 or 3. I will only keep as many lambs as adults that will be offered for sale. So if you think you see something that peaked your interest this year, please keep us in mind for next year.

Currently For Sale:

Cheviot/Shetland wether $125

One registered Shetland ram lamb, could be wethered for a pet or handspinner's flock, price is negotiable as I really just want a good home for him. Ram - is being temporarily retained for further evaluation as a ram.  Is available without papers for $150.   Special pricing if you take both boys still available. I'd like them to go to homes, not freezers so that is why they are priced as they are. If you can provide a good home then make me an offer, all reasonable offers considered.(SOLD)

Availability Status - REVISED

Minwawe Cha Cha has been taken off the sales list until I find out the status of breeding Serendippity in the fall. The only reason I was going to let her go was because I had Serendipppity...but not I will have to wait and see. They are by the same ram, and out of twin sisters. Her ewe lamb is sold and is outstanding! Duet is not spoken for as well so I might just hold on to Cha Cha for one more breeding season.
Spooky's twins still for sale. Gaining well with extrodinary build. Priced to go as pets, crossbreeding flock, 4 -H project, or for handspinners. If they end up as feeder lambs, they will go in our own freezer. Ram will be banded this weekend for sure if there is no interest in him as a ram. Ewe lamb sold - ram lamb now a wether.
Other updates: sales pending on Duet and Bahama. Wouldn't know two people wanted Duet in the same day. Once a deposit has been made I will reserve those sheep for those buyers. Only one Moorit and white ram lamb still available. The grey, kat, yuglet, flecket is now available for $400 (SOLD , going with Duet and Bahama).
