New Lambs for 2009! 2009 Lamb Journal
Thank you for your interest in our breeding stock. We specialize
in starter flocks for the first-time shepherd and produce quality breeding stock for replacement or foundation ewes and
rams. With an emphasis on meat and wool production, we select from some of the finest polled AI sires in Iceland
and utilize farm bred rams to create a hearty, healthy animal. We
will be having a flock reduction sale next summer and will be selling some of our finest proven ewes. For that reason
we have decided to retain several of this years ewe lambs as early replacements. There are still some fine choices
left. If you're looking for something special we have other ewes and rams that we may consider selling. A phone call or email will keep your sheep on hold for one week until
you can get the deposit of one third to us here at the farm. We will release the hold if your deposit does not
arrive after seven days. When we receive the deposit, your animal will be marked as "on deposit" on the website.
The balance of the purchase price will be due before pickup or delivery. For animals leaving the state an interstate
health certificate will be provided. All animals will be registered with the CLRC. There
is a 10% discount with the purchase of three or more animals. We offer unlimited after sale
support to further insure success with your flock. Delivery
is available throughout Wisconsin, UP Michigan and in Minnesota from the Twin Cities north, but is at cost
so please inquire. We now have PayPal for your convenience,
contact us for details at davidwgrote@cheqnet.net .

Moorit AI ram lamb by Mokollur and Josephine, grandson of two
of our all-time favorite sheep, Margret and Big Boy. His wool is extremely soft and silky, again no surprise
considering his bloodlines. Long, well built and elegant ram lamb though not as stocky as his sister yet.
Comes from one of our meatier lines. His price reflects the fact that he has horns and should go to an experienced shepherd.

Snoja

Morris
|
This is a really lovely ewe lamb out of one of our best maternal lines.
She is a granddaughter of Freyja and 2005 National Champion Ram, Preston and AI ram Mori. The daughter of Snoja and
Morris, she has her fathers stocky build and her mothers very soft and silky fleece. She is small because of being a
twin to a yearling and this is reflected in her price, but her mother has been an outstanding first-time mom. This is
a real buy for a ewe of her quality. Given a year to grow before breeding, I know she will outshine almost any
ewe in a flock. A great choice! Her AI bloodlines include:
Dimon, Mori, Arfi, Buri, Eir, Hunn, Heli and Skreppur |

This ram lamb out of one of our best maternal lines is a grandson of Freyja
and 2005 National Champion Ram, Preston and AI ram Mori. The son of Snoja and Morris, he has his fathers stocky
build and his mothers very soft and silky fleece. He is small because of being a twin to a yearling and this is reflected
in his price, but his mother has been an outstanding first-time mom. This is a real buy for a ram of his genetics.
Given a time to grow before breeding, he will be a nice flock sire or fine wether. His AI bloodlines include: Dimon, Mori, Arfi, Buri, Eir, Hunn, Heli and Skreppur

Valur

This elegant ewe lamb is the granddaughter of our beloved Margret, Astrid, Nanna
and Big Boy, an excellent combination of great producers. Father, Valur has a fleece nearly as soft as lambs wool, unusual
for any adult sheep let alone a rams and she seems to have her father wool including the dainty tight locks! She should
be an excellent milker and have good meat producing characteristics. She has fine bone structure to her face that gives
her a nice feminine look. Her AI bloodlines include: Heli, Askur,
Hynkill, Dalur, Bassi, Flotti, Skreppur, Flekkur, Butur

A very large, broad ram lamb by AI ram Mori and our lovely Margret. He
has his mothers lovely fleece and Bette Davis eyes and can trace his lineage back to the famous "Old Saddle Back".
He carries on great meat characteristics and will make an excellent flock sire. He has scurs so should go to an experienced
shepherd and this is reflected in his price. Even with scurs a ram of this quality should sell for much more. A
real buy! His AI bloodlines include: Mori, Askur

A beautiful ewe lamb with some great maternal lines. A great granddaughter
of our Margret by AI ram Orvar and Mora. She has a lovely jet black fleece right now and are hoping it will stay that
way and not grey out. Her sire Orvar is outstanding for fleece with a score of 9/10, his lambs average a wool
score of 8.3. Orvar scores 87 in ram points and his lambs score 111/100 on carcass. We're really excited to add this
ewe to our flock this fall. She has many wonderful AI lines Her AI bloodlines include: Orvar, Heli, Askur, Dropi, Bassi, Dalur, Hynkill, Skreppur
