THE EWES

In the spring of 2012 I dramatically reduced my flock by about 75%. I continue

to breed a select group of high quality polled Icelandic sheep and will continue

to offer a small number of breeding stock for sale each year.

I work with and watch each of my sheep on a daily basis. General appearance

coupled with correct conformation and structural soundness is paramount.

I am a hand spinner so wool quality is of extreme importance to me and an

ongoing breeding goal of mine.

The majority of my lambs are sold as butcher lambs. Maintaining a meaty carcass

is absolutely necessary. I achieve this by regularly purchasing outside breeding

rams with appropriate A.I. genetics.

The following is a list of ewes that I currently have followed by a list of ewes that

I no longer have but continue to have a genetic influence on my flock.

Black/gray Twin Born: 3/23/11

Sire: PEX 202X "Rio" Dam: PEX 106W "Winterfat"

Saltbush is a double granddaughter of my favorite ewe "Ursula" BLW 203U. Her lamb fleece was definitely

my nicest for 2011. As a yearling she had an amazing ram lamb that I retained in the flock.
