Lambs arrived from March 31st to April 17th. I have to say, this year represents the best ever total crop. An increase is quality has been determined for all monitored catagories and this is really exciting. All the lambs are healthy and vigorous and we are looking forward to seeing the codon 171 test results. Blacks are rich and brilliant and the browns are vibrant and deep. We have moved to preserve the type A dilution and are developing unique lines just for this pattern. Seperate lines are being created for brown on brown and black on black to farther intensify the depth of color and it is exciting to see the progress. We hope to have about 80% of our fall breeding flock scrapie resistant and additional details on this process will be made available on our website as test results become official. The International Finnsheep Registry continues to grow and it is very nice to be able to work with such a positive group of breeders who care so much about the Finnsheep breed. I hope to have more photos to share once the weather clears and I can get out to take more photos.
