Holly is a striking black and white spotted ewe with a wavy thick fleece and black and white striped horns.
Her black wool fades to a lovely chestnut brown when exposed to the sun.
She is a classic leader sheep - more tall and slender than some of our other ewes, calm but always alert and watchful.
She is an excellent mom with lots of milk for her lambs.

Catalpa
MKA-8T
[CAN]629073-H
Born 1 June 2007
Dam: Anemone MKA-2S
Sire: Milkweed MKA-1S
NOT FOR SALE
Catalpa has amazingly fine and soft wool, almost all thel, and is a sweet and lively girl. She is a horned,
solid, spotted moorit. She has excellent conformation and favors her leader-like lineage with long
legs and a thinner build. Catalpa will stay here to preserve the moorit in our flock. She was not bred fall of 2007.
We look forward to her first lambs this spring. If she's anything like her dam Anemone and her grandmother Holly, she will be a great mother.

[CAN]607634
Born: 18 May 2006
Dam:
[CAN]588174
Sire:
[CAN]607625
NOT FOR SALE
Aster is a classically beautiful horned, white ewe who shows her AI lineage
with her wide chest and strong back end. She has a thick lustrous fleece with a nice balance of tog and thel, with phaeomelanin on her head and legs.
Aster will shyly approach for a scratch but prefers to be independent. She is a fantastic mother and has fast-growing lambs so must have a good, rich milk supply.
AI heritage Bambi & Hynkill.
Lambing record: single ewe, single ram, single ram
Color and pattern genetics:
Color
black (?)
unknown
White hides her color and her lambs do not prove
anything conclusive. Black striping on horns and hooves
may indicate that she is black.
Pattern
white

Appearance proves white.
She had a mouflon lamb with a ram proven to carry
white and solid, so she had to contribute the mouflon.
