Updated Sale List ... Without Pictures

Willow Garden Shetlands 2010 Sale List

As is usually the case, there is a $25 per animal discount for purchases of three or more animals

MATURE EWES - I have to keep to 25 or fewer breeding ewes, so some on my best have to go!

  1. WillowGarden Gin ... a 2008 black katmoget ewe, out of V Creek Hummer and WillowGarden Kagera AI. I suspect that this ewe is homozygous katmoget so all of her lambs will be katmoget. She has an awesome crimpy, fine fleece that is always one of the first to sell. She has thrown her awesome fleece on to her lambs consistently. I am retaining this ewe’s dam, and several of her sisters. … $350

  1. HarmonyMarsh Lily ... a 2008 grey katmoget ewe carrying spotting genetics, out of HarmonyMarsh Archimedies and WillowGarden Hattie McDaniel. This is an awesome ewe. I am retaining her dam and two of her lambs. … $350 ... SOLD

  1. WillowGarden Absolut ... a 2008 smirslet, sokket, black katmoget ewe, out of Underhill Thelonius Monk and Shepherdwds Linga AI. This is an awesome ewe and an F2 Orion. Her fleece is silver, fine, crimpy, even, and always sells on shearing day. I love this girl ... NO LONGER FOR SALE!

  1. Hopeful Sarah ... a 2008 grey gulmoget, katmoget ewe, out of Beulah Land Duncan, and Hopeful Candy. I purchased this ewe from my friend Michele Minty, who has been selecting for spinner fleeces for many years. Her fleece is silver, even, crimpy, and very dense. She’d be a nice ewe to add pattern to a flock as every lamb she has will be gulmoget or katmoget. … $350

  1. WillowGarden Macaroon ... a 2008 white ewe, out of Bramble Nick, and Great Plains Sara. This ewe is a perfect white you, carrying solid black as well (Awt/Aa). She was going to be a keeper, but I am buying a white ewe from Alberta and will be breeding with a white Cormo ram this Fall. This ewe is an opportunity for someone! … $350 ... SOLD

  1. WillowGarden Opal ... a 2008 black katmoget ewe, out of V Creek Hummer, and WillowGarden Linyanti AI. This ewe has a fleece nearly identical to Gin’s, and it sells just as quickly. I am retaining her twin ewes from this year. … $350

  1. WillowGarden Snickertini ... a 2008 grey gulmoget, katmoget, out of V Creek Hummer and Great Plains Isabell AI (Greyling daughter). This is another special ewe that would add wonderful genetics to anyone’s flock. Great fleece, wonderful fleece, and tame. … $350

YEARLING EWES - I sold three last winter and only have these two that I can make available!

  1. WillowGarden Jane Fonda ... a 2009 moorit katmoget ewe, out of North Wind Holiday AI, and Hopeful Kaluha. This is a smaller ewe, like her sire, but very correct in every way. Here fleece is to die for and sold as soon as it came off of her on shearing day. She is a wonderful chance for someone to own a Holiday daughter. … $350

  1. WillowGarden Jodi Foster ... a 2009 black ewe, out of North Wind Holiday AI, and Hopeful Karen. This is an awesome ewe with a great fleece. At first shearing, there were NO iset fibres! … $350

EWE LAMBS - With a smaller flock, there are fewer lambs. The lambs are the best I’ve ever produced. I am trying to keep my ‘no breed over winter’ list to 10!

  1. WillowGarden Kitchener ... a 2010 black katmoget ewe lamb, out of WillowGarden Gin, and V Creek Leo. This lamb is exquisite and close to perfection in every way. She carries solid and is likely homozygous for black. Her fleece is a dark silver colour, very fine, even and crimpy. … $400

  1. WillowGarden Wooler ... a 2010 grey ewe, out of North Wind Holiday AI, and Great Plains Isabell AI. This is another awesome lamb that I would be retaining if I didn’t have a cap on my numbers. … $400 ... SOLD

  1. WillowGarden Woodstock ... a 2010 moorit ewe, out of WindyMeadows Columbo, and WillowGarden Liberia AI. Yet another amazing ewe lamb and one of the few moorits that I will be selling this year. She is carrying spotted and modified colour genetics. … $400 ... SOLD

  1. WillowGarden Salem ... a 2010 moorit ewe, out of WindWater Rolo and North Wind Holiday AI. This is a solid ewe lamb, but she carries both spotted colour and modified colour genetics. Another ewe that could easily be on my keeper list. … $400

  1. WillowGarden Baltimore ... a 2010 mioget ewe, out of WillowGarden Juice, and WillowGarden Shallot. This ewe has an awesome pale gold fleece that is even and soft. She will be retained if she doesn’t sell. … NO LONGER FOR SALE!

MATURE RAMS – These boys are listed as I always get requests for mature rams. Leo will likely be removed from the list at any moment … J.

  1. V Creek Leo ... a 2007 black gulmoget, out of V Creek Diesel, and Justalit’l Hollypop. This ram is AWESOME. He is shorter and has horns that are closer than I’d like … but … he has a fine, even, crimpy and even fleece with NO white fibres in it. I may remove him from my sale list and I will NOT discount his price ... NO LONGER FOR SALE!

  1. UnderTheSon Two Bars ... a 2008 mioget ram, out of UnderTheSon Torvus AI, and UnderTheSon Ellie. This boy has closer, clearing horns as well and an awesome fleece. He threw consistently awesome lambs when used last Fall by a friend of mine. … $300

RAM LAMBS - Out of the entire ram crop, these ones are the ones that I think will measure up as flock sires. I am over wintering 5 others.

  1. WillowGarden Burlington ... a 2010 moorit (mioget) ram, out of FirthofFith Aman AI, and WillowGarden Amaretto. This boy broke a hind leg and I was going to cull him ... BUT his leg has healed well ... AND he is awesome! His fleece will be even, crimpy, about 5" long, and fine. His price is reduced due to his mishap. … $200

  1. WillowGarden Waterloo ... a 2010 black katmoget ram, out of V Creek Leo and WillowGarden Gin. This ram is PERFECT in every respect. His fleece is fine, even, and crimpy! He would make a great flock sire. … $300

  1. WillowGarden Sudbury ... a 2010 black ram, out of North Wind Holiday AI, and WillowGarden Absolut. This guy was a 'sleeper', named Sudbury because he appeared to have little going for him. But today at 11 weeks of age, he has large sweeping horns, a short fleece ... which is growing in with an awesome, even and consistent crimp! He is black, but also carries moorit and spots. … $450 (Can you tell that I'd happily keep him :-) ... NO LONGER FOR SALE

  1. WillowGarden Whitby ... a 2010 moorit katmoget ram, out of WillowGarden Garnish, and WillowGarden Kazinga AI. This guy is big, and square with wide sweeping horns and a crimpy and even fleece that is like butter. $300 ... SOLD

  1. WillowGarden Picton ... a 2010 black katmoget ram, out of V Creek Leo, and WillowGarden Helen Hayes. This guy is very square and correct with horns sweeping nicely and an awesome fleece. He will also carry a 'solid' gene. … $300
