Here is another ram that I imported from the US last Fall ... V Creek Leo. Leo is from Maureen Kock's breeding, but I purchased him from Cynthia at FirthofFifth farm. Leo has Dillon, Lightning, Timothy, Greyling, and Holly genetics behind him. I really like the lock structure in his fleece. I didn't use him on a lot of ewes last Fall, and one of them had beed bred earlier by WillowGarden Juice, but his lambs look good. I'll try to use him again next Fall with the hopes of getting an Ag/At or Ab/At ram with very soft, even fleece with his same lock structure.Here are his babies ...
WillowGarden Broderick Crawford, an off black (likely emsket) ram lamb out of Harmony Marsh November. November is one of the ewes that I got last Fall from Sara and Jamie Scholtes at Harmony Marsh Farm.
WillowGarden Shirlet Booth and her as yet un-named brother are both Ag/Aa. Great Plains Isabell (Ab/At), is my only remaining F1 Greyling and I was hoping for a double patterned ram out of this breeding. I am THRILLED with Shirley though ... ;-)
WillowGarden Piper Laurie is a moorit gulmoget ewe lamb out of Harmony Marsh Ariel. Ariel is a Bramble Nick granddaughter out of Basa (Bramble Nick X Lugthart Goldthread). I suspect that Piper's colour may be modified. I like this little girl!
I REALLY like this guy ... especially now that I can see his lambs! He isn't a huge bruiser, but he is very square and correct. He has a respectful attitude. His fleece is soft, even, and an awesome mioget colour. This picture doesn't do him justice. My friend Michele was here on the weekend and described him as having 'BLING'.
There is still one ewe left to lamb out of this guy, but here is what is on the ground so far ...
WillowGarden Glenda Jackson (white), out of WillowGarden Macaroon (Bramble Nick X Great Plains Sara, F1 Minder)
WillowGarden Gregory Peck (fawn Katmoget), out of WillowGarden Tabasco (WillowGarden Killimanjaro AI X FirthofFifth Masala Chai)
WillowGarden Nicole Kidman (mioget), out of WillowGarden Smirnoff (Bramble Nick X WillowGarden Billie Holiday, a Canadian Gulmoget)
WillowGarden Maggie Smith (moorit gulmoget with lots of phaeo), out of Hopeful Sarah, a Canadian gulmoget/katmoget ewe
