Judi delivered a second set of triplets for this year – this last one on November 1st. There are 2 rams and a ewe. They are on track to have their vaccinations (and castrations) in time for a new home (and will be weanable), by Friday, December 20. I am willing to let them go at a significant discount to give some family a chance to love these little tykes and give them a life. They need each other’s company and should all go together. They will also produce lovely wool and give the new owners the chance to explore fiber arts – dyeing, felting, spinning, knitting, crochet!
The smallest ram is being bottle fed and all of them are friendly. Their names are Prince (purple coat, bottle baby), Perry (green), and Pickles (pink – the sister), but these need not be their permanent names.
UPDATE: As of December 3, 2022 I have a limited selection of Finn x Babydolls available for new homes.Of the animals described in the following post from 6/28/22, just Judi and Francesca are available.Currently accepting reservations for spring 2023 lambs.
These hybrid sheep grow fleece that is wonderful to spin, knit and wear. It is next to the skin soft, lovely natural colors (and takes dye well) and beautifully crimped. They can be shorn once or twice a year depending on the wool fiber length desired. The animals themselves are very friendly. (Note: rams are potentially dangerous and not recommended as “pets”!)

I have 2 rams left from different fathers and they can be bred to the sisters of the other. I have images posted below with the rams first, their potential ladies next, and the wethers and a couple of adult ewes last as they could join any flock. Some fiber farmers don’t bother with the rams and lambs part and have flocks made up of just ewes and/or wethers. They can all be shorn once or twice a year depending on your desired wool length. Animals below are various percentages of Finn & Babydoll. The 62% Finns are expected to produce about 5″/year and the 82% Finns closer to 6.5″.
