New puppy ... Jiff

Jiff is pictured shortly after arriving here at 8 weeks of age. She was acquired from Candy Kennedy and is sired by her Imported Moss, a son of Millichap's Ben and is out of her Imported Jet, a daughter of Jim Cropper's Dan. Nothing more exciting than a new puppy.

2010 Wiltshire cross ram lamb

Even though both of his parents are polled and AI sired by polled New Zealand and Australian rams, the first lamb born in 2010 is happily sprouting horns. As a result of our initial use of Wiltshire Horn semen on our base flock we expect a certain percentage of horned offspring out of some of our rams.

Tex - Purebred Wiltshire horn ram lamb

Purchased from Dan Nigh in Harper TX, Tex is a son of the imported Australian ram Wonoka 271/02 and is 3/4 Australian breeding. Guess it goes without saying that we'll be seeing more horns popping up next year.

Lambing draws near for yearlings sired by Australian Wiltipoll semen

The top three pics are all yearlings AI sired by the Wiltipoll ram GeeTee317. They all raised lambs last year as ewe lambs. The ewes in the bottom pic are being supplemented with alfalfa as lambing draws near.

New House

We continue to spend all our spare time working on the new house. We expect to move in after this last big push.



The house is coming right along now.

A break in the weather, take the young dogs out!

Farm tour for KHSI Annual Expo

Even though we only have one purebred Katahdin in our flock, we were one of two commercial hair sheep operations on the 2009 KHSI Annual Expo farm tour. We were told to expect 12 to 15 people, nearly 50 showed up. We also provided a variety of of sheep for their hair classing certification.
