Twin ewe lambs, out of River Oaks Hattie (Hannah's twin sister) and Kimberwood Harrison (polled black gulmoget). These girls are petite, they should carry polled genetics, heavy Holly and Roban Dillon lines, not registered yet, buyer can choose names, I've been calling them Freya and Freida.

To good home, River Oaks Hattie. Hattie has a bad ankle, not hereditary. She's the black twin sister of Hannah, F2 Holly, three years old.We also have crossbred lambs for sale, some 3/4 BFL's and one 3/4 Shetland ewe lamb. Priced at $75 - 100 each. Ewe lambs and intact ram lambs available.
Do Hannah and Hattie carry polled genetics themselves?
ReplyDeleteI can't say for sure Michelle. Their sire had full horns. When bred to polled or poll carrier rams, they've only produced ewe lambs. When bred to a full horned ram, Hattie had a gorgeous full horned shaela ram lamb (and a fawn ewe lamb who gave me a short scurred ram lamb this year - it was sired by Harrison). Garrett has Hattie's daughter Lucy who gave him a polled F1 lamb this year.
ReplyDeleteLast year Hannah had twin ram lambs when bred to a full horned ram. Both twins had bad horns, possibly aberrant. They were wethered. So I'm thinking Hannah may carry polled.
do you have any mule ewe lambs?
ReplyDeleteHi Garrett, we just had one Shetland Mule ewe lamb this year, Opal. She's white and very pretty. I also have two 3/4 BFL ewe lambs available. One is white and the other is dark. They have the more BFL type fleece. I am so tempted to keep them, but I really have to cut back on my numbers here.
ReplyDeleteReally nice rear on Hannah.
ReplyDeleteIs Hannah the one that had mastitis last year or something? Was her udder ok? Maybe I'll have to come make a trip to visit you....:)
ReplyDeleteNo Hannah never had mastitis, her udder is in excellent condition.
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to have you stop in for a visit Garrett! Rayna was here yesterday to look at sheep/lambs. It's so nice to talk face-to-face with other breeders. :-)
