I've decided to sell the 2 yearling rams we used for breeding last year - SHF Lanark AI, and SHF Lockerbie, AI. There are pictures and more information on our website.Above is a closeup of Lanark's fleece. Click on the photo to "biggify"it. This fleece has been growing in since late March.
Lanark's dam is an AI daughter of Beeston Loyalty, and his sire is Carryhouse R1 E+, so he is 75% UK breeding. He was born a twin, and has grown well over the winter. Overall, I am quite pleased with him. He has good fleece coverage and lock formation. His topline is level, his pasterns and feet are strong, and he has good rear angulation with no tendency toward being postlegged. He is just a nicely balance ram. His lambs were nice sized (12-14#) and vigorous at birth, with no birthing problems, and no need to assist the lamb. The lambs are similar in appearance and very upheaded, with good roman noses and long, upright ears. Lanark's dam has been a very productive member of the flock, and has a lovely udder with small, wellplaced teats. He is $500.00
Lockerbie's dam carries Gwystedd Jamie blood, and his sire is Barlaes Titus E+, making him 63% UK breeding. He is a single, and will be a large, tall ram. His fleece is very dense and heavy with fine lock structure. He has good feet and legs. He is in a gangly stage where he is all elbows and knees and ears, but I think he will finish into a fine looking ram. His lambs were large at birth, 14-18#. All were born easily and were up and nursing in minutes. In general, they are very blue, and the most eye-catching lambs in the flock. He is $450.00
Both rams are registered, and suitable for using in a purebred flock.
