This year’s lambs are ready to fledge! I have 3 ewes, 3 rams and 2 wethers available. The image below is how they respond when you come out with your phone to take photos. Very unhelpful. All are RR at codon 171 (Scrapies resistance), NABSSAR registration in progress (except wethers), and my flock is OPP free. UTD on deworming and CD&T.
Ewe Lambs
MN6805-0363 Nellie D.O.B 3/19/24 Twin – partial bottle baby
Note square stance, straight legs
MN6805-0342 Nadia D.O.B. 3/13/24 Twin
Pretty girl shown here with her attentive mom, Ivy. Mom is exceptional wool producer.
MN6805-0394 Nicolle D.O.B 4/10/24 Twin
Nicolle’s dad is Lancelot (black) giving buyer flexibility in color of her future lambs. Breed to white – likely white lambs. Breed to black 50% chance of black lamb.
Rams
MN6805-0364 Nolan D.O.B. 3/21/24 Twin
Mother, Georgia, is known for great fleece – long and abundant.
MN6805-0366 Neville D.O.B 3/21/24 Twin
Mother, Dixie, is especially known for great maternal traits – birthing, nursing, protecting.
MN6805-0385 Noah D.O.B. 3/31/24 Twin RESERVED
Mother, Nina, favored him so he grew up sort of as a single. We were fine with coddling his sister as a bottle baby and keeper for flock.
MN6805-0393 Nigel D.O.B. 4/10/24 Twin
Beautiful darker nose and legs – a tribute to his black father. This provides flexibility in lamb colors that can be expected from him. Strong with good leg positioning/shape.
Wethers
MN6805-0362 Nelson D.O.B. 3/19/24 Twin
This big teddy bear was a bottle baby. He’ll be great for keeping a ram company when separate from the girls or as a pet and lawn mower.
MN6805-0389 Nikolas D.O.B. 3/31/24 Single
Nikko was the serendipitous result of an unintended mating. His papa, Matthew, was 5/8 Finn so Nikko is 5/16. This means he’s going to be a good wool producer with Babydoll spring but more Finn length.
Hi, I’m interested in buying your ram, Neville. I have a small flock of 10 ewes in Lonsdale Minnesota and need a new ram. Would you let me know your purchase procedure, price, and a photograph?
Thanks,
Libby Peterson
Hello, Libby –
Thank you for your interest in my small flock! Neville is no longer here, but his brother Noah will be available after servicing my ewes – around Thanksgiving, if you are interested. His price is $400. He is proven and has given me 2 years of lambs already. He is non-aggressive. To reserve him send a check for half ($200) and you can come pick him up at a time we can agree on. I will have NABBSAR transfer waiting – they don’t like to do it prior to actual change of hands – too many “no-goes”, I guess.
Address: Sue Wiegrefe, 42443 120th St., Mabel, MN 55954.
Let me know if this would work for you.
Sue
