Spring 2014 Breeding Stock For Sale
Group 1
This is an awesome group of lambs. These lambs are from my Virginia line, all of the ewes were her descendents. Most are RR for scrapie resistance, all have at least one R. The sire Sunny Slope MacArthur is a gorgeous ram, great size, beautiful color and was tested RR at Codon 171. Unfortunately, nine of them were killed during an attack in the middle of the night by loose running dogs on June 11. They were around four weeks old at the time. They were run to death and most had bite marks on them. Needless to say this was a devastating loss for me. I have included them on this list - to honor their short lives and to show how beautiful they were.

Ram Lamb #208 DOB 5-13-14. Sire Sunny Slope MacArthur - Dam Sunny Slope Noel
A beautiful ram lamb. He received a bad bite on his head during the dog attack. Somehow his head was not crushed. It seemed like the bite was on the hardest part of his skull and this helped him survive. He does have a scar across the top of his head. Most likely this one will stay here on the farm as a back up for his sire.
