Ewe's For Sale

This is Desert Peach  Pepper born 4/1/2008. She has a longer double coat. I believe it is too long for the Shetland breeders, over 7 inches. She is build well with nice feet and legs.

Limerick her color is "shaela" is not for sale but I have two pure black ewe lambs from this year to sell. Clancy is a half brother. They can be breed to him if you wanted to try for spots.

Desert Peach Hazel is for sale. Born 4/23/08

Kenick is Hazel's daughter. Not for sale but I wanted to let you see what Hazel can produce.

Desert Peach Hattie, born 3/2/07 on the right and her daughter Betty. Hattie is very special to me and will only be sold if she is promised a "forever" home! I will sell her all black daughter also. These ewe's are very friendly!

Hattie and Betty.

2011 Ram Lambs

This is Rio.

Nice compact ram lamb. Father was black and his dam is katmoget. Nice broad horns cute Shetland type tail.

I like his fleece. It's single coated and has great lock definition and soft.He is my favorite!

Clancy not sure he will produce as sturdy a lamb as Rio should. He does have nice horns.

He is lanky and tall. I kept him to breed back to his dam and a few other ewe's to try and get more spots in some of my sheep. He has a soft fleece but I call it a "scattered" (kind of hairy looking) type fleece. I like my fleeces with nice crimp and good lock definition so I don't really like his fleece! His black brother from this year has been showing in California and did fairly well.

"Moe" Growing nice with a beautiful Moorit fleece. The only thing I would fault him for is the way his horns are growing. His sire and dam are both moorit. 

This last little guy I will keep just in case Moe's horns turn out bad. I may not be able to use him this fall since he is so tiny. I do love he's dam and sire so he should turn out fine.
