WINTERTIME ANIME

Our little twin Ag spotted ewe lamb sired by Wintertime Waterbug and out of Wintertime Alanis is growing into a lovely ewe with soft, lustrous fiber. We look forward to potentially crossing her with "Boer Goat"(our moorit/white flecket Barqs/Ladybug son) this fall.

WINTER SKY KHAN

Polled modified moorit krunet yearling ram sired by Wintertime Black Forrest and out of Winter Sky Khaya. His first fleece tested 21.4 AFD/3.9 SD/18.4 CV and 6.8 CEM. He sired two very nice NCWGA lambs out of Winter Sky Kir Royale(polled katmoget ram and krunet moorit gulmoget ewe lamb)and one amazingly fleeced black ewe lamb out of Winter Sky Marrakech. He'll be used heavily this fall before heading on to another polled breeding program. We are retaining his two full sisters that were born this spring--a moorit smirslet and a black. His dam is for sale to a polled breeding program.
