Ewe Lambs - $500 each

Moorit Solid Spotted, Polled

Proud Parents: Tawny and Brett

DOB:  April 11, 2008

Single to a one-winter ewe

Tawny tied with Gerpla to have the first lamb of the year, and as a first-time mom she did just great!  She was very attentive to raising this beautiful Brett daughter.  This lamb has a lovely fleece, and the characteristic backside of our "Brett girls."

This lamb does have a touch of Iceland ram Dalur.

This ewe lamb is SOLD.

Black Grey Spotted, Polled

Proud Parents: Ingrid and Beast

DOB:  April 12, 2008

Single

Ingrid decided to give herself a bit of a break this year and only have a single (after having huge twins last year) . . . but what a single she is!  This gorgeous ewe lamb has grown out so well on her mom's abundant milk supply, she is nearly as big as her yearling sister already.

Her bloodlines include Iceland rams Flekkur, Skreppur, and Vestri (a Hnykill son), making this young lady over 50% AI.

We are keeping this ewe lamb, but offering her mom, Ingrid, for sale.

Black Solid Spotted, Polled

Proud Parents: Connie and Brett

DOB:  April 15, 2008

Single

This lamb is so striking, with her all-black face on a nearly all-white body, I have been too busy admiring her to take pictures.  She has a long body and ultra-nice fleece from mom Connie, and nice width from dad Brett.

We decided right away that this ewe lamb would be staying in the flock, but after we lost her mother to illness and this girl continued to thrive on her own, we knew she was a real keeper.

This ewe lamb is staying in the flock.

Proud Parents: Lavvie and Brett

DOB:  April 17, 2008

Single to a one-winter ewe

Lavvie was one of the first ewe lambs born here on Queso Cabeza Farm, and she did not disappoint in producing this terrific ewe lamb of her own.  We often refer to this lamb as "Junior" because she is so much like Mom, not only in markings and occasional fence slipping, but also in fabulous fleece! 

Brett is proving to be a great father to daughters, and this young lady is no exception.  We are offering "Junior" for sale, but would be happy to keep her in the flock.

Her pedigree includes Iceland rams Vestri (Hnykill), Heli, and Dalur, for a total of 50% AI. 

This ewe lamb is available.

Black Solid Spotted, Polled, may carry moorit

Proud Parents: Lofty and TCE 342T

DOB:  April 19, 2008

Triplet

This stunning ewe lamb is one of a set of triplets that was born just before being loaded on a trailer in Missouri to make the move to Michigan.  She and her two brothers all weighed well over 10 pounds at just one day of age!  Mom Lofty has raised the three herself, and all of them have grown well.  Of course we must keep this ewe lamb in the flock to carry on her mother's legacy, but one brother is for sale below.

Her pedigree includes Iceland rams Mori and Faldur.

Proud Parents: Darling and Navaho

DOB:  April 25, 2008

Single to a one-winter ewe

Is there a better way to cap off the day than to find a new lamb and a new mom together, bonding in the barn?  I don't think so, especially when the lamb is as lovely as this young lady.  She is the last Navaho daughter ever, since her sire passed away last winter, and so she is staying in the flock.

Her pedigree includes Iceland rams Vestri (Hnykill), Heli, and Dalur.

Moorit Solid Spotted, Polled

Proud Parents: Panda and Brett

DOB:  April 25, 2008

Triplet

Panda blessed us with another set of triplets, two ewes and a ram, completely unassisted.  However, a bout of mastitis last year left her with only half an udder, so this ewe lamb and her brother were raised by mom while their smaller sister was bottle fed.  Even on half an udder, these lambs have done well and this lovely lady has surpassed our expectations.

Her pedigree includes Iceland ram Hnykill.

This ewe lamb is SOLD.

"Matilda"

Moorit Solid Spotted, Polled

Proud Parents: Panda and Brett

DOB:  April 25, 2008

Triplet

Matilda was the smallest of the triplets born to Panda and Brett.  Knowing Panda could not support all three on her damaged udder, Mattie was lovingly bottle-raised by a dear friend of ours, and will stay in our flock to become a mom herself one day.  I suspect she is "dalmation spotted" like both her parents, judging by the dark areas in the wool near her skin.

Her pedigree includes Iceland ram Hnykill.

This ewe lamb is staying in the flock.

Black Mouflon, Polled, may carry moorit

Proud Parents: Regal and TCE 342T

DOB:  April 27, 2008

Twin (sister below)

What a lovely mouflon lamb this is, with a deep rich color to her soft fleece.  She has a nice long body, and her dam (who came to us from Tongue River Farm this spring) is an excellent mom who fed her twins well.

Her pedigree includes Iceland rams Austri, Hunn, Mori, and Eir.  She probably carries moorit, and may carry spotting.

This ewe lamb is available.

Black Badgerface, Polled, may carry moorit

Proud Parents: Regal and TCE 342T

DOB:  April 27, 2008

Twin (sister above)

This beautiful badgerface ewe is the twin sister to the mouflon ewe, above.  She has her mom's very feminine face and a laid-back personality.

Her pedigree includes Iceland rams Austri, Hunn, Mori, and Eir.  She probably carries moorit, and may carry spotting.

This ewe lamb is SOLD.

"Roni"

Black Solid w/ Flashing, Polled, may carry moorit

Proud Parents: Nan and SRX 954T

DOB:  April 27, 2008

Twin

This little sweetheart was born unassisted, but as it turned out her mom's main teats were blocked due to a bout of mastitis last summer.  Mom, however, is endowed with four teats, and the two "extra" teats worked somewhat.  So this little girl and her brother nursed some from mom and were supplemented with bottles (which is why she already has a name) and then a bucket feeder.  Roni apparently weaned herself early from the bucket, and so although she is healthy she has gotten a slow start and is quite small.  She will NOT be large enough to breed this fall, but would be an excellent starter ewe for someone willing to giver her a chance to grow.

Her pedigree includes Iceland rams Sonar (Eir), Hnykill, and Buri (twice), for a total of 50% AI.  She probably carries moorit and spotting.

This ewe lamb is available - specially priced at $400 because of her small size.

Black Grey, Polled

Proud Parents: Carry and Beast

DOB:  April 28, 2008

Twin

This ewe lamb and her badgerface ram twin were born completely unassisted.  Mom Carry did such an excellent job - and thankfully so, because we were busy with some other lambs that needed supplementing.  A ewe with such excellent mothering skills is surely a treasure, and we expect this girl to carry on that trait.  Very feminine in features, but well built.

Her pedigree includes Iceland ram Vestri (Hnykill).

This ewe lamb is available.

Black Solid Spotted, Polled, probably carries moorit

Proud Parents: Puddle and TCE 342T

DOB:  May 1, 2008

Triplet (sister below)

The only thing better than unassisted twins is unassisted triplets!  Mom Puddle has raised these three on her own, with an ample milk supply and good attention.  Puddle is a Navaho daughter acquired from Tongue River Farm this spring, and she possesses the terrific fleece of her sire and appears to have passed it on to her lambs.

This lamb's pedigree includes Iceland rams Dalur, Askur, Hunn, and Mori.

This ewe lamb is available.

Proud Parents: Puddle and TCE 342T

DOB:  May 1, 2008

Triplet (sister above)

This ewe lamb was the largest of the triplets at birth, and she is nicely balanced.  Her fleece is wonderful, and shows very little of the sun fading that is common in black lamb fleeces.  Both of these ewe lambs are being offered for sale only because we plan to keep their brother for breeding.

This lamb's pedigree includes Iceland rams Dalur, Askur, Hunn, and Mori.

Ram Lambs - $350 intact, $150 wethered

Black Badgerface, Polled

Proud Parents: Gerpla and Beast

DOB:  April 11, 2008

Twins

Gerpla, after delivering the last lambs last year, decided to go first this year, and blessed us with her first set of twins.  Her ewe lamb was an escape artist who was hit by a car at 9 weeks old, but this handsome ram lamb is less adventurous.  He has an awesome wide build, and is already looking very ram-like, with a broad head and neck.  We have pondered keeping him as a possible replacement for his sire, Beast, but we are planning to keep so many of our other ram lambs this year that we are offering this handsome guy for someone else's flock.

His pedigree includes Iceland rams Vestri (Hnykill) and Glaer (a Flekkur grandson).  He may carry moorit.

Proud Parents: Pearl and Beast

DOB:  April 17, 2008

Single

With Beast as his sire and Navaho as his grandsire, this ram lamb has fabulous potential for both meat and fleece.  Unfortunately, he has gotten somewhat of a delayed start due to being orphaned at just a few weeks of age.  He did not want a bottle, but has done a good job looking after himself (with a bit of help from grandma Gerpla), including eating through the fence (hence the worn wool at his neck).  He does have some small horny bumps, but it is too soon to tell whether they will develop into more.

His pedigree includes Iceland rams Vestri (Hnykill), Glaer, and Dalur.

Moorit Grey, Scurred, carries spotting

Proud Parents: Libby and Navaho

DOB:  April 19, 2008

Twin

The last of a line - this ram represents the last Navaho offspring born at Queso Cabeza Farm.  He has terrific fleece from Dad and an awesome wide rump from Mom, but unfortunately for us (fortunately for you, perhaps?) he is scurred and so does not fit into our breeding program.  He was reserved as a breeding ram for a while, but the transaction fell through . . . so you still have a chance!

His pedigree includes Iceland ram Dalur.

This ram lamb is available for a discounted price of $250 due to his scurs.

Black Solid, Polled, carries spotting

Proud Parents: Lofty and TCE 342T

DOB:  April 19, 2008

Triplet

To call this handsome black solid ram the "little" brother really doesn't do him justice, considering as a triplet he is still one of the largest ram lambs (his brother is the largest).  If you are looking to add awesome milk and mothering genetics to your flock, this is the ram lamb for you (despite being the "little" brother)!  He also has a deep, rich, soft fleece, wide body, and good straight legs - a testament to the high quality of Tongue River Farm breeding.  His fleece is holding its inky black color well, with little sun bleaching.

His pedigree includes Iceland rams Mori and Faldur.  He carries spotting and possibly moorit.

Oy!  This guy is huge for a ewe-raised triplet.  And he doesn't have just size going for him, either - he's definitely the total package of quality fleece, meatiness, and square conformation.  We knew we needed to improve the shoulders in our flock, and this is the guy for the job.  We are truly blessed to have him, and he has a sweet, curious personality to boot!  He's definitely getting some girlfriends this fall, and you can get his brother, above.  ;-)

Moorit Mouflon Spotted, Polled

Proud Parents: Panda and Brett

DOB:  April 25, 2008

Triplet

Decisions, decisions!  This ram lamb is a triplet from two of my favorite sheep, and given that he is both moorit and mouflon (my favorite combination) I am inclined to keep him in my own flock.  He is a bit on the smallish side, however, as he is a gentle soul and did not compete very hard with his sister for Mom's good side, so we will probably allow him to grow out a year and evaluate him as a yearling.  We would consider letting him go to another farm as part of a starter flock.

His pedigree includes Iceland ram Hnykill.

This ram lamb is available.

"Wolfie"

Black Mouflon, Polled

Proud Parents: Nan and SRX 954T

DOB:  April 27, 2008

Twin

What a face, and an impish personality to go with it!  Along with his sister, above, Wolfie needed supplementing due to Mom having a damaged udder.  Using a bucket feeder instead of bottles kept us from having to wether this GORGEOUS ram lamb.  He has the "frosted" mouflon pattern, which made him look very wolf-like as a young lamb; his luxurious fleece has now faded out to a deep coffee color.  Because of his unique genetics and nice overall package (including a very clear poll), we will be using him in our flock.

His pedigree includes Iceland rams Sonar (Eir), Hnykill, and Buri (twice), for a total of 50% AI.  He probably carries moorit and spotting.

Black Badgerface, Polled

Proud Parents: Carry and Beast

DOB:  April 28, 2008

Born unassisted to a great mom, sired by a massive ram, this lamb has terrific potential.  He has a nice fleece, long body, and a pleasant personality, with facial features more delicate like his mom's rather than broad like his dad's.

His pedigree includes Iceland ram Vestri (Hnykill).

This ram lamb is available.

Okay, so this picture really needs to be updated, because this ram lamb is half grown by now, but I just can't resist the cuteness of this photo!  Besides, this ram is staying in the flock, so you don't really need to see just how handsome he has become anyway.  And did I mention that he has awesome fleece, too?  His sisters are both available, above.

This lamb's pedigree includes Iceland rams Dalur, Askur, Hunn, and Mori.  He probably carries moorit.

Black Grey Badgerface Spotted, Polled

Proud Parents: Starr and Beast

DOB:  May 27, 2008

Single to a one-winter ewe

This was the last lamb of the year, and his breeding was accidental.  We would be super-excited about this ram lamb, except that his mom was bred by her own sire, making the inbreeding a little too close for our comfort.  Nonetheless, he is a beautiful lamb, long-bodied and with a positively gorgeous curly fleece that is almost entirely white on the body (save a small tan area between his shoulderblades).  He will make a terrific fiber wether or ram companion.

This ram lamb is available as a wether.
