Group 2

Sunny Slope Jeremiah is the sire of this group of lambs. He is the sire of MacArthur, the sire of Group 1 lambs. These lambs look like they will be as nice as MacArthur. Some of these pictures were taken as day old lambs, and some were taken at four to six weeks of age. There is a big difference between day old lambs and six week old lambs so please keep that in mind while you look at photos of Group 2. Jeremiah was tested QR at Codon 171. So these lambs could be QR but would have to be tested. Ewes Patty and Erma are tested KK.

 

Group 3

Bellwether Jonah is the sire of Group 3 and is the son of Saint Lucy. He is unrelated to the sires of Group 1 & 2 so these lambs can be used as unrelated starter flocks for those groups. Jonah's lambs are dark to medium color. They were all nice size lambs with good birth weights. All of these pictures were taken a few days old. There were nine ewes in Jonah's group and he covered all nine successfully.

 

Group 4

Group 4 is sired by #13 Calvin. This is Calvin's last group of lambs as he is no longer with us. Calvin was born 2-21-2002 and was over 12 years old when he sired these lambs. He was put with three ewes in March, one in April, and he covered all four of them.  We lost Calvin on 9-16-2014. The three ewe lambs will be staying at Sunny Slope Farm to carry on Calvin's line. Ram lambs are available. True to this line, all of these lambs had good birth weights. Although they don't end up any larger than the rest of my flock, the larger birth weights seem to make for a stronger newborn lamb. Even the triplets were between 6.10# and 7.12#.
