For the third year in a row
we have sold all of our lambs. (Update - see below) Check with us around November when we are
planning next year's breeding. Most of our lambs this year (especially the ewe lambs) were sold before the first of the year
to folks who paid a $50 deposit. Happily we were again able to deliver, but of course if we cannot, that deposit is refundable.
I would like to post a sheep for sale that is not on my property, but that I know
to be a very nice animal. The owner has asked me to put his listing on my website.
Jacob II- he was one of my crossbred rams last year. He
is 3/4 Cheviot and 1/4 Shetland, and looks just like a Cheviot. He was bought as a breeding ram for a Shetland flock where
the folks were interested in building a little more carcass into their rams so they would be a better meat animal. Now they
are moving to Oregon from NJ and giving up their flock. They will probably send their other sheep to market, but they are
attached to Jacob and would rather find a good home for him. He has a very sweet disposition and is a proven breeder. His
fleece is particularly nice - my reason for doing that cross. This is the second crossbred I have sold into a Shetland flock
and since they were sons of Isaac, they were both named Jacob, hence the II after his name.

* * *Ram Lambs and a wether
The available ram lambs are all purebred
Cheviots - They come in two colors this year! Cush is
black with a cute white face ( he looks like he is wearing war paint). Jubal is white and was also a spring lamb. His ewe twin is going to Alabama. Benjamin is a wether who was born in late February. These three sheep are only
available at this time because a customer backed out today (6/14) - she was going to buy them as pets for her daughters but
decided to go closer to home to get her pets (a different breed).
