Our 2013 Lambs/Sire Pigee. Our lustrous coats are growing and gorgeous. A few lustrous ram lambs were sold in 2013. We will track their coat and production records while doing further research into this rare gene. For photos and more information on the 2014 lambs go to this page....2014 Lambs.

 

Herd Sire 5 Misteree with 4 yearling ewes from 2012 (photo on left).

Misteree was 137 pounds at 5 1/2 months and matured early. His sire is Herd Sire II and his dam is 8 year old Mist, a registered Katahdin ewe that goes back to our original registered foundation ewes in 2005.

Misteree has a beautiful hair coat that fast sheds. He is a dominant ram and very bold. He holds his tail high when greeted. He is a heavy thick ram. His body resembles the White Dorper while he is well muscled and broad over his rear with nice shoulders.

Our 4 yearling ewes have excellent coats that fast shed this spring. They've been slower maturing while all grass fed as lambs. They reached a good weight for breeding now at 1 yr of age.

 

We hold back our ewe lambs and match them to a ram lamb. The rams are half brothers to our ewes. We keep as much diversity as we can in their genetics since we are closed. We use all our own breeding stock. In doing that, we came up with this rare lustrous gene in 2013. Amazing!

The pink skin tone lambs have extremely tight short coats. A few curls of wool down the back on a few. The Honey Gen 1-2 golden hair lambs have silky hair on their faces with a beautiful sheen that glistens in the light. Their soft golden hair coats are beautiful. Our white hair coats have longer hair fibers in comparison. All our hair lambs have fibers that should shed well. The lustrous coats resemble wool sheep that have been shorn. We will see how those lamb coats do over winter and next spring.
