Some Sale Animals

This is Dancing Angels Palm Pilot. He is the only buck we have for sale, as his conformation, coloring and blue-eyes make him something special. His twin sister BlackBerry is being retained as is his dam--Dancing Angels Bittersweet. He is a grandson of CH/MCH Dancing Angels Cool Your Jets and a son of Twin Creeks Megapixel(Pecan Hollow Dance Fever X Twin Creeks Madame Butterfly). Price is $250.00.

This is Winter Sky Speed. He is out of Winter Sky Breathe(Winter Sky Sandstone X Winter Sky Ready to Run)and sired by Wintertime Landslide(Winter Sky Sandstone X Firthoffifth Rhiannon). He appears to be polled or only minimally scurred. He has Landslide's totally sweet disposition and outstanding conformation and type. Not to mention his lovely fiber which is crimpy and consistent over his entire body. We will be repeating this breeding in hopes of getting a ewe lamb. But for some lucky person looking for an easy-to-maintain fiber ram for their flock look no further. Price is $150.00.

This blue-eyed two year old cream/white AGS registered Nigerian doe named Dancing Angels Praline for sale for $250.00. She is a daughter of Twin Creeks WB Rain Beau(pictured at Whispering Woods Farm.com)and out of Dancing Angels S'More. She had twin does her first year and triplet bucks her second. She is an exemplary mother. My daughter is retaining her yearling daughter from last year and a granddaughter(both blue-eyed).

This is Dancing Angels Bittersweet. She is NFS, but her son Palm Pilot and dam Praline both pictured above are. This is a very strong line for color, lovely dairy character and good production. Bittersweet is our smallest doe but twinned her first year and is still retaining good body condition.

Wintertime Landslide Lambs in June

Winter Sky All Night Long(aka Party)is a black/white HST son of Landslide and Kiss This. He spends much of his day leaping about and enjoying the company of our other May ram lamb--Mud Puddle. Nothing phases this lamb and he is easy to spot wherever he goes.

Wintertime Creme Brulee(Landslide X Crisp) is developing into a very nice ewe. She has her dam's unusual katmoget coloration and good length to her very silky fleece. Her crimp is developing slowly which is the way we like it. She is Meghan's favorite Landslide daughter.

Wintertime Pavlova(Landslide X Crisp), Creme's twin sister has a remarkably crimpy, soft moorit fleece and outstanding conformation and type to go with it. She occasionally spends time with us but more often than not chooses to enjoy her hay instead at night.

And last but not least are the twins out of Sarah sired by Landslide. Thriller is remaining polled at seven weeks of age and has a wonderful disposition like his sire. He is also exhibiting a very strong hindleg set and developing a lovely fleece. His sister Sweet Escape(aka Gwen)has a slightly darker shade to her fleece and longer fiber which is just starting to develop. Landslide's true fleece didn't come in until Fall, so we look forward to how these lambs will mature.

Winter Sky Tennyson

This is Tennyson's second year on the farm. Above is his second fleece after skirting. He has retained his rich, dark moorit coloration with no white fibers and a lovely lacey crimp. His yearling son--Buster Brown--has a very exciting fleece and shows every promise of being an equal to his sire. We will be retaining three of Tennyson's daughters this year--Haiku(a moorit HST out of Lorrie Morgan), Deja Vu(black daughter out of Kismet)and Pianissimo(dark brown daughter out of Staccato).

Tennyson's First Lambs of the Season

Above are Winter Sky Kismet's twin moorit ram and black ewe(Deja Vu)sired by Tennyson. I am finding the Tennyson lambs all exhibit a different type of fiber than one sees on the tightly crimped UK lambs or more loosely curled domestic stock. All the lambs have a slightly open curly fleece that is consistent from front to back and very soft down at the skin already, so I am imagining they will develop that fine crimp I so love as they mature into the fall.

The twins below were the latest born to Glenmore Staccato who had a fabulously fleeced dark moorit ram lamb by Tennyson last year. This time she produced a lovely dark moorit ewe lamb--Pianissimo--and a musket ram lamb--Largo. Largo has the softest fiber of any lamb on the farm--like crushed velvet, so we are excited about his prospects.


Winter Sky Halla(a true shaela Kismet daughter from last year)produced a comical black smirslet ram lamb with feet and legs larger than his leaping ambitions. He looks very much like Winter Sky Chrome did as a lamb, so we will see how he shapes up. His name is Astaire.
This is Winter Sky China Silk. The last daughter out of my daughter's pet white ewe Short Tale and sired by Winter Sky Sandstone. We have found crossing Sandstone daughters with Tennyson always produces something nice and Calista is no exception. She is almost a carbon copy of Pianissimo and another dark moorit.

Heights Orion F1 Lambs at Winter Sky

Above is Winter Sky Ready to Run--AFD of 27.4 with an SD of 6.2 and her single krunet moorit ram lamb sired by Heights Orion. His fleece is not as consistent as I'd like to see, but it is very soft and only time will tell if he'll develop into the type of ram we want to use on our farm.
Below is one of triplet rams born to Winter Sky Alafair. She had two lively black rams and one extremely typey moorit ram(unfortunately born dead in the middle of the night)after showing now signs of labor. The black rams have a doglike lamb coat, so once again we wait to see what will develop over time. Alafair's side micron test this year was a very disappointing 30, so she is being culled from the flock.

Wintertime Landslide Lambs

Above is Glenmore Crisp about 12 hours before lambing. Her side micron tests at 21.5 with an SD of 5.4. She is the dam of my daughter's black gulmoget ram Black Forrest who has lambs due by the middle of April. The twin ewe lambs pictured just below are her Landslide lambs born this spring. Both have the type of fiber one only dreams about and a lovely look to them. The moorit lamb is Pavlova. The katmoget lamb is Creme Brulee.

Wintertime Creme Brulee emulates her mother in coloration and fiber. She will make a lovely addition to my daughter's growing flock.

Wintertime Ruby and her Landslide daughter Wren. Wren was an unexpected addition to our flock as we didn't believe anyone was cycling mid-October, but she is extremely soft and shows great promise.

Todhill Jericho F1 Lambs at Winter Sky

Winter Sky Calypso--a blettet musket four year old ewe with a mature side micron test of 23.1 had a difficult lambing due to one dead lamb blocking her cervix. Space Cowboy pictured above was born breech and last. He is a heavily spotted light grey katmoget ram with exquisite fiber already and a lovely look to him. He may be Ag/Ab but only time will tell. His triplet sister "Diva" is pictured below. She was the first lamb out as I was finally able to find both her front feet and head and get her past the logjamb. A surprising smirslet fawn katmoget with total attitude in a very small package.

This is Winter Sky Chisenbop. He is out of Winter Sky Chutzpah--a black ewe with some facial markings whose side micron test at three years is 24.3 with an SD of 8.2. His birth was totally uneventful and unwitnessed which is more typical of lambings on our farm.
