Deidra





Deidra, RBR29S, born 6/1/06 here on our farm
Moorit Grey Badgerface Horned Ewe
Lambing record 1,2

Deidra is Charlotte's daughter. Her fleece is a gorgeous cream color, abundant, with a silky hand. She has a meaty confirmation, milky and is a wonderful mother. I couldn't get near her as a lamb, but she has calmed down considerably, and is very sweet and loving now. Her badger ram lamb is for sale this year.

Delilah





Delilah, RBR28S, born 4/14/06
Moorit Spotted Badgerface Polled Ewe
Lambing Record 2,2
For Sale $500

Delilah is my daughter Maddie's pet, a quirky, boisterous, fun loving girl (just like Maddie). She has thrown nicely horned lambs. She has gone to the fair and participated in the sheep lead program for the past 2 years. She's a big ewe with a meaty conformation, milky, colorful, curly, soft fleece, and a great mother. She's plenty bossy, but her lack of horns is the thing keeping her back from being top ewe. Delilah's daughter from 07 will have the sheep lead honors this year, so Delilah will be for sale.

Cierra




Cierra, RBR14R, born 4/5/05 here on our farm
Black Mouflon horned ewe
Lambing record 2,0,2

Cierra is one of Stella's daughters. She's a lot like Stella, but with a heavier bone structure, deep and long bodied. Her fleece has silvered a lot. She is very independent and hardy. Adores being brushed! She is an excellent mother, with twin ewes this year. One stays, one goes.

Charlotte



Charlotte, RBR12R, born 4/5/05 here on our farm
Black Grey Horned ewe
Lambing record 1,3,?

Charlotte, my FAVORITE girl. Claire's twin sister. A carbon copy of Claire, but a black grey. If I could only have one ewe, Charlotte would be it. She loves attention, but isn't annoying. Gorgeous, lavender grey, soft, abundant fleece. Had a difficult time getting bred this winter/spring... "if" she lambs, it won't be until July. It's not looking too promising, though. Maybe she's just taking a year off from her triplets from last year.

Claire


Claire, RBR 11R, born 4/5/05 on our farm
Moorit Grey Horned ewe
Lambing Record 1,3,3

Claire, dear Claire--one of our favorite ewes. Her mother Hazel was gorgeous, but not a good mother, so Claire was bottle fed. She has grown out to be a prized ewe, prolific, beautiful fleece, wonderful personality, maternal, milky, well built and muscular. A foundation ewe that we'll keep in our flock for years. She is so dependable. She knows her name, and calls back when I talk to her. We love our Claire-Bear. Triplets again this year!

Pippi



Pippi (RTK 51P), born 4/22/04 in Michigan
Black Horned Ewe
Lambing Record NB, 2,2,2

Pippi was also new to our farm in the fall of 08. She's a beautiful, well built ewe, with elegant sweeping horns, and bluish cast to her fleece. She is independent, and a bit wary of us, but will come to us for treats. She had twins this year, (200% lambing record) and we'll keep her black ewe, who is so sweet and friendly. She is muscular and athletic.

Anna



Anna, PAM 41M, born 5/5/02 in Wisconsin.
Black grey spotted horned ewe
Lambing record NB, 2,1,2,2,2
Anna was new to our farm in the fall of 08. She is short, stocky and muscular. She should be a real asset in adding meatiness to our flock. I haven't seen her in full fleece yet, but she feels softer than the average adult. She twinned this year and we plan on keeping her stocky little daughter. She developed a very bad case of mastitis early this spring. She has been amazingly tough and resilient through weeks and weeks of treatment, and has become quite a pet.
