This year the Lord saw fit to gift us with 12 live lambs - 4 ewes and 8 rams. We had a record number of twins (all births but one). With that exception they were all presented to me first thing in the morning by their proud mommas - this breed has excellent mothering instincts. The 4 ewes (two white and two black) were already spoken for - I had deposits on them. Two sets of ram lambs were crossbreds - Shetland/Cheviot. I am keeping one little black guy for my spinning flock - true black is hard to come by. His twin is sold. I still have 3 purebred rams for sale and because I really want them to go to spinning or breeding homes I am offering them at half-price. They are normally $250, so now their price is $125. The two dark ones are twins, the white one is also a twin whose sister went to West Virginia.
King David (at the left) is a beautiful and
very correct ram lamb. He is a twin. His fleece is lovely and his top-line is straight, as you can see. His hind quarters
are sturdy, with very straight legs. Best of all, he has a gentle disposition and was easily halter-broke. He would
make an outstanding breeding ram, but if he was wethered he would also be a great addition to a spinning flock or as a companion
to a ram. At the present he is intact, but if I keep him past the middle of October he will be wethered. SOLD TO A PET HOME AS A WETHER. James and John are twins, born in May. James is slightly larger
and has a striking white blaze down his face. He has a very nice dilute black fleece - mixed black and white. His conformation
is very correct - good head, straight back, sturdy straight hind legs. For somewone who would like to add color to their white
flock he would be an excellent choice. Again, his price is $125, and he should be wethered (if that is the choice) after mid-October.
He would be wonderful in either a breeding or spinning home. John is a twin to James and shares his best features - is slightly
smaller. Instead of a blaze he has two cute spots on either side of his muzzle. He is also now $125. Since I cannot keep him
as an intact ram through breeding season he will be surgically wethered in mid-October. BOTH WENT AS "BORDER COLLIE TRAINERS" TO A FARM IN NEW JERSEY
Caleb and his twin Jonathan were destined for
the butcher, but ended up on a farm in New Jersey as trainers for Border Collies. They have been wethered and we are sure
they will do a great job. We are delighted. SOLD
