Lambing has Started


The 2009 lambing season has started at Mapleton Farm! Check the farm blog for daily updates of lambs born. When lambing is over we will decide on which lambs we are keeping and which are available for sale and they will be posted here. Our plan is to keep 3 ewe lambs and 1 or 2 ram lambs, so there will be plenty available to interested buyers. I expect at least 20 lambs. If you see a particular lamb you are interested in, speak up, it might help us make our decision. NASSA Registered Breeding Stock will be priced between $250 - $450. Unregisered and cross breeds will be priced between $100 - $150. Starter flocks will be available. Discounts on multiple purchases and 4-H.

Both Corriedale/Shetland ewe lambs SOLD!

Ewes for Sale

Rosebud -coming 3 year old grade Shetland
Very pretty with wonderful moorit fleece
great for a crossbreeding program or spinner's flock
Available after her lambs are weaned
$125 or $200 with lamb at her side SOLD!

Check back often! Come March/April the lambs will start arriving and the ones for sale will be listed here. If you would like to reserve a lamb from your favorite of my ewes, let me know, and I will put you on the reserve list. I plan on keeping a few, but I can't keep them all. The ewes listed above are only for sale to give me room to keep a few lambs from this years crop. These two ewes have some of the nicest fleece in my flock and I might regret letting them go, but I am very excited about my 2009 lambs! There should be a lot of colors, patterns, and spots! Discounts available on multiple purchases, 4-H, or starter flocks.
