JUNE SHEEP SHOTS

Wintertime Bailleys--L'il Country Nightcap X Wintertime Ruby polled twin moorit yearling ram. For sale mid-November for $250. Very nice fleece and overall type if you prefer classic Shetlands.
Winter Sky Gryffindor--Charcoal grey Cormo X ram(75% ACSA Cormo background). Butter soft, long(6")fiber on this yearling ram. He'll be breeding our two Cormo X ewes(Aly & Raggedy)along with a few select Shetland ewes this fall.
Winter Sky Breakaway--Winter Sky Buster II X Winter Sky Breathe. Loads of spotting in this twin smirslet ewe lamb. She has a wonderfully soft, curly, rich moorit fleece and an in-your-face personality.
The grey in the middle is Wintertime Waterbug(Sheltrgpines Bug X Owl Hill Lady Grey). Ag scurred spotted ram lamb with lots of Greyling in his background and a very fine, consistent fleece. He may be for sale. We are still sorting through all the ram lambs we have available to use this fall.

The ram lamb on the right is Wintertime Barqs--moorit gulmoget polled twin ram lamb out of Wintertime Ruby and sired by Wintertime Black Forrest. His fleece is very fine & soft with tiny crimp and good density. Nice type and good disposition on this one. He is being retained in the flock.
Winter Sky Vogue--Tennyson X Foxtrot. Just a wonderfully fine-fleeced ewe lamb.
Wintertime Chiffon(lying down)with her yearling daughter Maple Sugar. Very similar, crimpy, soft, fine fleeces in a rich moorit color. Chiffon wasn't bred this past fall as she needed time to mature. She'll be bred to Wintertime Bailleys this fall.
V Creek Princess Buttercup with her Sheltrgpines Bug ram lamb Wintertime Grasshopper. He has small, flat, "potato chip" scurs and will be retained for now for Meghan's polled program.
Wintertime Ruby--Winter Sky Sandstone X Whistlestop 0427. The matriarch of Meghan's small flock and an extremely nice ewe in all respects. Not sure which ram she'll be paired with this fall.
Winter Sky Alistair--Cormo X twin ram lamb from January. He is being retained, as we just love his fleece which is like white satin ribbons and his personality(easygoing and will be anywhere led under the chin. He'll be used on some of Gryffindor's ewe lambs in 2011.
