NEW ADDITIONS TO MEGHAN'S FLOCK

After a long drive to lower Michigan and then another long drive to lower Illinois I was able to bring home a couple new lambs for Meghan's NASSA flock along with two more colored Cormo cross ewes(more about them another time). This is Owl Hill Lady Grey. She is heavily linebred on Enfield Greyling with some Heights Orion and a dash of Greenholme Holly. She's a nice growthy, attractive ewe lamb with some spotting in her background. She'll be going into a breeding pen this fall. Thanks to Sue Kimball for allowing her to come East to us.
Last fall Stephen Rouse was looking for a finely fleeced spotted ram to bring into his flock. Meghan sent Wintertime Fudge to him. At the time Fudge was rather puny in comparison to his full brother Red, but his fleece is awesome and given time everyone felt he'd produce some nice lambs for Stephen. Stephen put him in with his ewe flock and unbred ewe lambs, because he couldn't compete with the mature rams figuring Fudge was too small to do anything. Guess again....


The above scurred ram lamb is a Fudge son out of Sheltrgpines Bengal. Bengal rejected him early on, so he is a bottle lamb learning how to be a sheep now that he has come north. We don't have a name for him yet, but "Stinkbug" seems to be his farm moniker for now. His fleece is as exciting as it looks in the photos, so Meghan is hoping he'll follow in his sire's footsteps and test out in the 17 range as a yearling. We are also hoping his gregarious nature will help him get some ewes bred this fall.

Thanks for giving Fudge a chance Stephen.
