Many people admired our Grand Champion Colored Wool ram lamb, Sheeps and Peeps 606, ‘Poseidon’, at the Buckwheat Festival last fall.
With his Wensleydale-Coopworth X Cotswald-Border Leicester genetics he produced a fantastic fleece in the fall – before skirting: 6 lbs 9 ozs, after skirting: 6 lbs 6 ozs, staple length: 6 -7 inches.
His spring fleece is really beautiful – before skirting: 3 lbs 15 ozs, after skirting: 3 lbs 12 ozs, staple length: 2 1/2 – 4 inches of just five months growth – with Wensleydale-like lock structure and Border Leicester lustre.
We are fortunate enough to offer the following ram lambs that are related to ‘Poseidon’ for sale. These guys are all exhibiting great growth and fleece characteristics. They would make a great addition to any spinners’ flock as stud rams or fiber wethers. They will be available September or October.
