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.

Mercury delivers

Well, Mercury finally had triplet lambs on St. Patrick's Day.
She had 2 ewe lambs, a white 12 lb. & an 11 lb. natural colored, and then a 12 lb. colored ram lamb.
No opportunity for photos yet, just too busy & too tired lambing out the other LAI ewes. It is also too cold and windy to open up the barn for some sun and good lighting. I hope to get some photos this coming weekend of the AI lambs as they get turned out of the lambing jugs and into the 'nursery' area.

Beechtrees 'Falkirk' ~ For Sale

Beechtrees 'Falkirk'

DOB: 4-11-07

Kirk is a solid ram, with good feet & mouth and overall conformation.

He has an excellent temperament, and carries a very finely purled fleece.

He would make an excellent purebred or crossing sire.

AH, The Sun ~ Finally!

The old boys know how to enjoy their day!

There is nothing better than catching a few rays from the comfort of the ol' round bale pile.

And just when we were getting comfortable,

some guy with a camera had to come along and spoil our afternoon siesta.
