For Sale: Bluefaced Leicester Ewes

We have a diverse group of yearling ewes for sale, ranging in quality for show, brood, or for the fiber flock.

The scan of the fleece sample pictured below is from ewe # 93-black 'Coal Ila', the samples taken from the mid-rib and the lower britch, this is her first shearing.

If I had to make a guess at the microns, the mid-rib would test out around 23 microns or less. Coal Ila has also lambed at 11 months of age: a 13 lbs single~natural colored ewe lamb, and she is a very good mother.

Lambing time

This weekend has been a bit busy keeping up with the ewes that are lambing the UK-AI progeny. All the jugs are currently full and there are still a few more ewes to go, so I guess I had better 'check out' a few of the sets and make ready for the next group of occupants.
