That says, it’s breeding season again here on the ranch. So to show everyone who is with whom, I thought I would lay it all out in gory details.

I would like to get some spottie lambs, and some nice white markings on the faces. I found a really nice little guy, Griffin and bought him to breed to the ewes this year. He is a smirslet, which means he has a white blaze that goes over his mouth basically.

And just so you can see his whole handsome self, here is the centerfold picture. I must thank Tammy, from Fairlight Farm, she took the pictures. Her main site is over there in the side bar.

Griffin will be bred to my ewe, Mist at Tammy’s house.

So Tammy and I were planning on just both using him this year, she was going to breed early, and I was going to breed later. Then we got a look at this fella, Jerome, and the price was just too good to pass up.

So now we had the opportunity to share the rams, and Tammy is half owner of Jerome. So Griffin has gone over to Tammy’s house, along with Mist, to enjoy a few weeks of wining dining and romance with her newest hot hook up.

Jerome has stayed here, and is going to be enjoying the company of these lovely ladies.

Agnes is 3/4 Merino and 1/4 Dorset

And of course DuClair is also being bred with Jerome, although I considered sending her over to Griffin.

That is Ashlin and Agnes in the back.

Then there is Lucy, the half Merino half Shetland.

And finally I can’t neglect to mention Tammy’s sweet girls.
