Ellysa

Ellyssa, RBR47T, born 4/24/07 here on the farm
Black Horned Ewe
Lambing record 1

Ellysa is Delilah's daughter. Her lamb fleece was a buttery soft, silky and non-silvering black with chocolate sun bleached tips. She is developing a nice muscular frame as she is maturing. Great wide, elegant horns, outgoing, and sweet. Poor girl had a terrible time lambing this spring. The lamb's cord was wrapped around it's neck, and broke before we could get it out, so it drowned--a horned moorit ewe lamb. We milked Ellysa for a time this spring. She is my daughter's new "favorite", so will participate in the sheep lead program at the fair this year. Below, Elyssa maturing into a beautiful ewe, July 08.

Update: Here they are, in the Sheep Lead program. Maddie will also show Ellysa at the Wisconsin Sheep & Wool festival in September.

Ella

Ella, RBR40T, born 4/6/07 here on our farm
Black Horned Ewe
Lambing record 2

Ella is a twin daughter of Stella. The sun turned the tips of her lamb fleece a warm chocolaty color, but her adult fleece has stayed a nice solid black. As a yearling, she is taller and larger than some of my older ewes. Ella has a confident, independent personality, and is proving to be a very good first time mother with twins. She has a more muscular frame than Stella. Her lambs will both be for sale, since we have so much of these genetics already. Below, is a current photo of Ella, hanging out by our creek on a hot early July day.

Emily

Emily, RBR39T, born 4/2/07 here on our farm
Moorit Grey Horned Ewe
Lambing Record 1

Emily is Claire's daughter from a set of '07 triplets. They look so much alike, I have to look at their horns to tell them apart. Emily's fleece is exceptionally lustrous with colors ranging from cream to a greyish taupe to apricot. She should develop a nice muscular frame as she matures. She had a sweet black ewe lamb this spring, and is such a good first time mother. She stamps her feet at the dogs and keeps her lamby close.

Deon

Deon, RBR36S, born 6/9/06 here on our farm
Moorit Horned Ewe
Lambing Record NB,2

For Sale $500

Deon is Claire's first lamb. The moorit color is very popular with spinners. Moorit is the English version of the Icelandic word morautt, which describes the reddish-brown color of the peat bogs. Deon had an awesome pair of ewes on Easter day. So nice, that I think I'll keep one of them and sell her! She has nice heavy, SOFT fleece, outgoing friendly personality, dependable mother.

Dalla

Dalla, SRX752S, born 4/18/06 in Missouri

Black Grey Horned Leaderewe
Lambing record 1,2

Dalla (aka Salsa) is another ewe that we acquired from the Tongue River dispersal. She is an AI ewe, her sire is Icelandic leadersheep Skumur. She is very curious, but wary and quick on her feet. Quite leader-like in appearance. It will fun to see her in full fleece this fall. She has been a protective mother, as expected. Her lambs will join our flock. She may be for sale in 2009. I like to keep ewes that are a bit friendlier. Below, is a photo of Skumur, isn't he handsome?

Dalla updated photo, with fleece! Isn't she lovely? I'm really enjoying this intelligent ewe.

Delphine

Moorit Spotted Badgerface Horned Ewe
Lambing Record NB, 2

Delphine is another one of Stella's triplet daughters. Longer bodied than her sister Drea, fleece is abundant and luxurious, heavy milker, friendly, excellent mother. I love her striped horns. Her twins this year are both exceptional. I will have to keep her beautiful daughter, a black ewe with a white blaze on her forehead. Her son is will be for sale.

Drea

Drea, RBR31S, born 6/4/06 here on the farm
