We are sold out of 2011 lambs, but we have kept a few photos up in order to give visitors an idea of what we may have available in next year. Please note that, with a couple of exceptions, the lambs were photographed with minimal cleanup and fitting, just enough to give viewers a fair look at the animal. Our lambs are allowed to roam the pasture or shelter in a three-sided shed; they are not confined to a barn or drylot. They consume grain, grass and hay, although the hay is minimal while the pastures are green.
Under most circumstances, our ram lambs have proven capable of breeding in their first season.
Our 2012 waiting list has been started. Please contact us promptly if you would like to reserve lambs from this lamb crop or next year’s. We deliver free to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival in May and Rhinebeck in October. We can usually arrange delivery to other events.
The sale lambs are posted below the slideshow.

Twin ram lamb
Born 2/19/2011
Sire: Bullock 0561 Cyrus
Dam: PFR 475 Dinah

This is a nice-sized ram out of a consistently producing cross. 659 has a thick, wide loin that percentages out well. He’s strong topped standing on sound feet and legs. He carries a consistent, soft, beautifully colored fleece. His dam was the Supreme Champion Ewe at the New York Sheep and Wool Festival as a lamb. He sold from our pens during the same event this year.

PFR 655 (SOLD)
PFR 655
Single ram lamb
Born 2/8/2011
Sire: Barnes 8007 Halsey
Dam: PFR 575 Boeing
Weight as on July 10, 2011: 159 lbs
This is a very growthy ram with excellent length and width of loin. He has a strong top and good spring of rib. The fleece is one of our favorites this year, very true to breed with distinct lock and crimp, typical of what we breed for. He sports a jet-black nose and feet. This boy has a lot of style with substance to back it up. We may decide to keep him to show as a yearling, but as of this posting he is available.
