Pitchfork 1328 Derwen
Twin - Born 2024-02-07
Sire: Derwenlas 3822/L001 (UK) Dam: Pitchfork 997
This boy was the pick of our 2024 lambs to be our next stud ram. He is UK-sired via artificial insemination out of our best ewe, 997. Derwen is showing tremendous potential in terms of breed type, conformation and fleece quality. He was named "Best of Breed" at the 2024 Hill Breeds Show under UK judges. His first lambs are due in February, 2025.

Pitchfork 1360 AI "Bob"
Twin - Born 2025-02-10
Sire: Derwenlas 3822/L001 (UK) Dam: Pitchfork 997
This boy is a tank: wide, capacious and powerful. He is excellent on his feet and legs,, long and wide of loin, square-built and very typey in pigment. His topline is level and his mouth perfect. All covered in an outstanding fleece. We love his calm, affable disposition. His first lambs will be born in 2026.
1360 represents one half of his's dam's swan song as our best BFL stud ewe to date; she will enjoy a well-deserved retirement here. His sire, Derwenlas L1 (UK) has produced outstanding lambs for us and other breeders fortunate enough to purchase straws. 1360 is a full brother to Pitchfork 1274, whose job he took in 2025. Like his brother, 1360 was named Best of Breed at the 2025 North American Hill Breeds Show, which Derwen won in 2024.
Pitchfork 1274 "Todd"
Pitchfork 1274 "Todd"
Single - Born 2023-02-19
Sire: Towdypotts L10 (UK) Dam: Pitchfork 997
Our first breeding ram kept from the 2021 semen import, out of our best ewe. Thick bodied, capacious and correct on his feet and legs, he performed cleanup after our 2023 fall AI breedings. He sired a set of quads and two sets of twins. He produces only white, even when bred to black.
Our 2023 AI produced an excellent half brother (same dam) by Derwenlas L1, so Todd was sold in the fall of 2024 into the great state of Vermont.

Hermie (Wit's End 1827)
Twin - Born 2018-03-15
Sire: Beechtree 84 Blue Dam: Beechtree 94 Orange
Acquired at the Rhinebeck dispersal sale of the Wit's End flock, Hermie impressed us with his overall correctness and fleece potential, if not his size. He is growing out nicely, however, and even sired a couple crossbred lambs last fall in cleanup duty. We are looking forward to using him on our black patterned BFL ewes in the fall of 2019.

Ellwood (PFR 728-AI)
Ellwood (PFR 728-AI)
Twin - Born 2013-01-29
Sire: Llwygy Black Mountain 1706/B67 Dam: Bonny (Ward 08-0846)
This natural-colored ram represents an excellent blend of US and UK blooodlines. He is flat-topped with lots of length and thickness , and his extra extension works well as a counterbalance to our white ram's "linebacker" build. He is very correct on his feet and legs and sports an attractive black-patterned fleece. RR at Codon 171. His lambs have done well both at show and breeding.

Ellwood was sold into a Canadian flock in 2018 to make room for new genetics.

Triplet - Born 2012-02-11
Sire: Myfyrian Trueblue 1183/B013 Dam: Reva (Ward 07-0774)
This ram is a product of the last importation of UK BFL semen into the US. His sire is True Blue Myfyrian B-13. He shows outstanding thickness and over the top, excellent capacity and a very nice fleece that carries well down the britch. His pigment is distinct and he stands on very correct feet and legs. We are very please with the progress he represents in our Bluefaced Leicester breeding program.
Lorenzo was sold into another flock in 2017 to make room for new bloodlines.
