Sheep and lambs for sale
|
| |
Due to the poor hay weather this year we realize that we will not have enough quality hay for the size of our flock. This coupled with some medical issues (people, not sheep), have made us look at our options very carefully. It is with heavy hearts and much heated deliberation that we have decided to sell more of our flock than we anticipated. We will be selling some of our older, but still excellent breeding stock and a few yearlings and a few lambs. Please see below for our selection. They come at a reduced price and we appreciate a good home for the folks who need to leave.

| |
All purchases require a deposit fee of 50% of the cost of the sheep. Due to the sale prices, there is no discount on quantity.
12/01/11 We have sold a few sheep, but needed to begin our breeding season. Our yearlings and ewes are now with our rams and we will sell these ewes as bred without an extra fee attached. This is an excellent opportunity for folks wishing to being a flock without buying a ram. Take a look!

Amelia
|
 |
CTF Amelia 04/28/05 was one of our first lambs born at the farm. She is a polled twin and has twinned for us every year. An excellent mother with no problems lambing. Amelia was one of our show flock, so she is halter trained and very easy to work around. She has an incredibly white fleece with equal tog and thel. Her fleeces have been sold every year and has been a favorite of the hand spinners in our area. Her dam was a spotted moorit (Boots) from the Golding farm in Saxons River Vermont (Meadow Sweet Farm). Her sire, a white horned ram (Fred) came from Frelsi Farm in Maine. She has produced both horned and polled offspring and has provided us with a miriad of beautiful white, colored and spotted lambs, most of which we have kept on our farm. She is available for $200.00 SOLD

Sheep needing retirement homes
|
| |
Athena is a farm favorite, but for various reasons have decided not to breed her. She is looking for an owner who may want fleece, but not the rigamarole of breeding/lambing, etc. She is not an old sheep by any means, but would be a fabulous addition to a "fiber cafe" or for someone wishing for a great pet and lawn mower.

Athena
|
 |
Athena is Amelia's twin, born in 2005 will be sold as a fiber animal. She developed toxemia last spring while carrying twins. With help from our vet and physical therapy by Walter, she gained strength, began to walk again and delivered health twin mouflon lambs. Our vet was pretty convincing that Athena probably wouldn't have any trouble with subsequent pregnancies as long as she had proper protein in her diet. We are not willing to take the chance with her. An excellent ewe who was also a show animal, she is halter trained. Athena is available for $100.00

Panda
|
 |
I can not believe for the life of me that this is the only picture that I have in my gallery of this sheep....the only one I can find at this moment. Panda was probably our largest lamb born on our farm. She is a triplet out of one of our original sheep, Eden. DOB 4/11/07 She consistenly twins, easy with lambing, and is a good mother. She has been a fairgoer, is halter broken and very friendly. A favorite at the fair and on the farm. Her pedigree can be found on the CLRC.CA website and she is owned by Benjamin Steele. Panda is a black and white spotted ewe, on the smaller side as an adult. She has a good fleece, which could be an excellent fleece if she would just sometimes stay inside in foul weather, but she doesn't. Her lambs always have excellent fleece and we consistently keep her lambs for our farm. Ben is a high school senior and will be going to college, so it is with a heavy heart that we will sell Panda. She is available for $300.00 SOLD 01/03/12
