We have completed our fall lambing and expect a number of nice lambs available for delivery/pickup in late winter/early spring.

We also have a few premium lambs from this February's (2011) lambing and a few adult ewes from 1 - 3 years available for purchase, many of which have been exposed for a February lambing.

We typically price our ewe lambs and adult ewes for sale at $300 per head, premium rams are $450 each. We typically cull about 40% of our ewe lambs and about 90% of our ram lambs. Culling is based on performance data and other traits as outlined below.

We generally select for:

1. High performance on grass. We provide no supplemental grain and all of our ewes complete their pregnancy on high-quality hay only.

2. Type A and AA coats.

3. A target weight of 130 to 150#'s for my adult ewes.

4. Good parasite resistance - despite heavy parasite loads, our adult animals rarely need deworming.

5. Carefree maternal traits - any mothers that show any hesitancy in caring for their lambs are culled immediately.

6. A calm, easy disposition.

7. No conformational defects. My preference is a wide bodied, long and low animal with good thickness to their frame.

8. Good DAG scoring. No one wants to look at poopy behinds, even if they have good parasite resistance.

We do generate performance data on all of our lambs including adjusted 60 and 90 days weights.
