SHEEP
14 pure bred corriedales! The ewes that are bred were bred by Moon Shadow! I will be posting them as soon as I get the pics and names for them.
Munster - This ram
is so big I just had to name him Munster! After all, who would like to be named
Monster? Good thing he is easy to handle with his size!
Moon Shadow - This ram
was named by Kristin. She says his wool has the look as if the moon was shinning
on him-shadowing affect!
Christa - This ewe
is one of the older ewes. She is a very laidback girl with silver colored
fleece.
Keesha - This ewe
is very dark-almost black in coloring. For some reason Keesha sounded like a fit
for her.

Kylor's little flock!
Just arrived 12-20-06 - Picture and story coming soon on Kylor's Christmas present! A Targhee (Tess) girl! - Tess is wearing a coat this year. Watch for her coated fleece after shearing in April 2010! |
Grace
- This girl
just arrived on 4-18-09! She is a cotswold that is expecting lambs mid
summer.
Carrie - This girl
just arrived on 4-18-09! She is a cotswold yearling ewe
Apollo - This boy
just arrived on 12-2-08! He was a happy boy when he got here. I put him directly
into a pen with 2 girls! He will be getting more very soon to keep him company
or should I say for him to have his fun with! He is a 3 1/2 yr old colored
cotswold ram!
Killer - This boy
was named because of his beller! He sounds like someone is killing him! He is a
BFL.
Bluefaced
Leicester Boys yet to be named! OOOPS! Karl
name these boys while we were doing hay! They all
hang together in a group. Karl asked if I had names for them yet and when I said
no, he said they are the blues brothers! What? There was only 2 of the blues
brothers I said and there are 3 sheep. His reply was they are all brothers
right? Yes, they all have the same sire! So, The Blues
Brothers it is!
Frosty - This ram
was named because of his ears! He was born on April 15th 2007 when the people
were not home. It was cold and the tips of his ears were frostbitten. Needles to
say they fell off so he was no longer able to be shown. He was heading to the
meat truck, but I saved all of the BFL boys!
Amulewe - This
lamb was my big purchase at the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival in September
2007! She is a Scotch Mule (hence her name) meaning she is a cross between a
Scottish Blackface and a Bluefaced Leicester. I can't wait to get my hands on
her wonderful curls this coming spring shearing!
Huge Helen! She was the size of a 2 week old lamb when she was born!
Tiny Tina! This is Huge Helen's twin! They belong to Bertha!
Crystal - This girl is a wensleydale!
Wensleydale Boy - This boy has yet to
be named!
Leo - This
guy is a purebred Border Leicester. He is black with a few white baby hairs on
his head. His mom is Leslie and dad is Leapold. Leslie had
problems with her milk so he was bottled from day 1!
Leena - This
girl is a purebred Border Leicester. She is a
twin to Leo. Yes, she was bottled from day 1 also! What fun I had bottling twins
and then added more bottles for the others that needed it!
Mary - This
girl is a twin to the boy I gave to a friend for a birthday present! After her
brother left, her mom did let her nurse for a couple of days. After that, she
stood and bellered most of the time because she was hungry. I then put her on a
bottle and she took to it right away which is very unusual after being on mom.
She was much smaller than the other 2 I was bottling at the time (Leo and Leena),
but she was older. It did not take her long to catch up!
Lenny - This
guy is a Border Leicester cross. He was born to Maddie and Leapold. He was born black
but shortly after started turning brown. He is growing into a big boy! His
spring fleece should be very interesting!
Wade - This
guy is Wensleydale boy. Lovely tight curls
cover his body and forehead! This guy is a replacement lamb for Wendell-the one
boy I lost after purchasing him. I can't wait to shear him in the
spring!
Wensley - This
guy is Wensleydale boy. Lovely tight curls
cover his body and forehead! This guy is a little bigger than the other boys I
purchased recently.
Dale - This
guy is a Wensleydale. He is a colored boy
with lovely curls! We cannot wait until we can get the shears out to give his
first haircut in September!

lucky to be here. When she was just 6 months old, she got very sick. It took me
a long time to get her back to her feet, but I managed. I still say she had an
angel looking over her! Very nice long curls!
Charlie - Charlie is a white border
leicester ram.

just my hands!

Shakespeer - He is a light fawn huacaya.
Rufus - He is a dark fawn huacaya. He looks

day he arrived!
Magic - He

so his fiber will be available as soon as I can get to it.
GOATS
These 2 goats are now running with Ash! I call them Ash's boys. They were
Carmen's first kids she had ever had! I bred Carmen to Harry to produce them.
They were born in 2001 (?).
Sheeba - She
is our 1st colored angora. She provides several pounds of nice black & white
mohair every year.
Carmen - Carmen is a nice
dark gray with very soft fiber. She is a great mother. She was a birthday
present from my old boss-that is when I was working off the farm! He gave me a
bonus and she is what I bought!
April - April is a white
color carrier. She came to us when she was just 5 months old. She was born in
April of 1999! Her fiber is still very soft-feels like yearling! She is also a
great mother!
CAMELS
Connie - Connie
is a 7 year old dromadary camel that we have had since she was just 6 months
old! She came from a petting zoo and is very friendly. She loves dog treats! She
provides about a pound of hair a year for spinning!
Almost April - This is Connie's 1st baby! She was born on March 31st! She got her name due to it being leap year this year! It would have been April 1st (Karl's b-day!) if it was not leap year!
DOGS
Mabel- She is a pitbull-greyhound
cross we adopted from a shelter. She is our watch dog that lets us know when
someone is here!
Samantha (Sam)- She is a cocker spaniel cross we adopted
after my younger brother's passing. She was his pride and joy! She has attached
herself to me just like she did with my brother. Kristin is a little upset she
is attached so hard to me, but she will adapt I am sure. After all, she arrived
to us here the end of March when she was abandoned by my brother's
girlfriend. I took her up to my parents today (4-7-10) and she wanted nothing to
do with them-stuck by my side just like she did with Dewey.
