Through the years we have had
several varieties of sheep and have found the Polypay breed to be gentle,
excellent mothers producing fast growing
twins
and triplets each year. In 2005 we introduced a Border Leister ram to
improve the wool quality of our sheep.
The Border Leister breed is known for strong,
fast growing lambs and long, luxurious wool enjoyed by hand spinners. In 2008 we introduced
a black, half Bluefaced Leicester/half Wenslydale ram to our flock. Wenslydales
are a blue-faced, naturally polled, long
wool breed known for their fine curly fleece.
The addition of Bluefaced Leister
in our market lambs has produced a milder
tasting lamb that dress out heavier than
some other crosses. Ziggy has brought
both of these fine traits to our flock.
