LF23P  MardiGras  (4/26/04) Black spotted polled twin Lambing record:  1, 1, 1, 1 Sire:  Gauguin (BLW123K) - AI Helison Dam:  DS13M - carries bloodlines form Old Mori X 2,                                Saddleback, and  Golsa

This wonderful ewe was Kalmia's mother, and Tiger's grandmother, and we now have a decent percentage of the Holliberri flock related to her.  As you can see, MardiGras is prone to lambing singles, but what she lacks in quantity she makes up for in quality.  In addition to all the offspring by Tiger, we have kept last year's ewe lamb out of Hokan and this year's ewe lamb out of Ilex, and we now have a great granddaughter as well.  All of her daughters have been horned when she has been bred to a horned ram - she might throw polled if bred to polled.  MardiGras has lovely, silky fleece and a nice meat conformation.  Her grandfather had a very high BLUP milk score for daughters.  $500  SOLD

HYV3S Snowdrop (4/30/2006) White horned twin Lambing record: 0, 1 Sire - Brendan (TNY822P) - AI son of Aboti;                                         carries bloodlines from Golsa                                                and Old Mori Dam: DL47P - Kani granddaughter, Molur great grand-                             daughter;  carries bloodlines from Golsa,                             Old Mori X 2, and Gray Pet

JDDL108R  Briar (3/18/2005)    Moorit spotted horned twin    Lambing record: 1, 2, 1    Sire: GTF202N - Old Mori and Saddleback    Dam:  Endive (HAM3L) - Smokeham Farms triplet;                                                       Old Mori x 3

As I said, it has been a strange year - I would have expected twin lambs out of Briar also, but am very pleased that Hawthorn gave us a daughter to keep out of this ewe. Briar has exceptional fleece and a history of triplets in her family - she also tends to throw her spots.  We have her twin sister, Bramble, in the flock, who has proved to be more amenable to milking than Briar, so reluctantly we have decided to part with this lovely gal.  Briar has no AI bloodlines which is reflected in our asking price.   $550  RESERVED

LF206S  Wintergreen (5/17/06) White horned single Lambing record: 0, 1 Sire:  Hoss (LF105R) - AI son of Peli:  carries bloodlines                                     from Hunn, Mjalder, Thettir,                                  Haengur, Dropi, Old Mori,                                  and Saddleback Dam:  Anna (WLW31R) - carries bloodlines from Flotti,                                            Finull, Old Mori X 2,                                       Solee X 2, and Golsa

I may end up kicking myself for selling this ewe - she is a lovely animal with a very sweet personality, but I want to keep her daughter by Hawthorn, and I am saving several other lambs out of Hoss this year, so I need to let her go.  Wintergreen's mother was a grey mouflon, and Hoss carries spotting, so she should throw color if bred to the right ram.  She has a Who's Who of AI bloodlines, and will be wonderful addition to any flock.  $650  SOLD

HBI55T  Sugarberry  (4/6/07) White horned twin Lambing record: 1 Sire:  Ilex (LF111R) - AI Visirson; carries bloodlines                                         from Moli, Solee, and Finull Dam:  Inkberry (TCE240R) - Laekur, Garpur, Eir,                                            Heli, and Saddleback X 2

This is another ewe that I may end up kicking myself for selling, but I have her twin sister, and I can't keep everything, even though I want to!!!  This gal threw us a beautiful black spotted ram lamb by Ash this year, so we know she carries solid and spotting - not sure about moorit.  She is going to be big girl when she is full grown, with a wide stance and great meat conformation.  Sugar also has a heavy, silky fleece.  She will also be a fine addition to anyone's flock.  $650  RESERVED

LF199S    Camellia (4/30/06) Black mouflon horned twin Lambing record:  1, 2           Sire:  Tolkis (NMI428P) - Flotti grandson; carries                                      bloodlines from Golsa and Old Mori X 4 Dam:  Angie (SRX388M) - carries bloodlines from                                 Hunn, Dropi, Finull, Old Mori X 3, Golsa                                          and Saddleback

Camellia has been a great performer for us, with an excellent production record, always lambing unassisted.  We are keeping her daughter from this season to boost our milk genetics and we kept BabyToes from last year, so we have reluctantly decided to offer this gal for sale. $700  SOLD

Snowdrop is a daughter of the only Abotison in the United States, and so has fleece both top and
bottom in her pedigree, as well as a high BLUP score for milk production.  Her mother was solid
black, so she should carry solid, but her lamb this year was white.  It has been a strange year - I
would have expected twin lambs, as she has a family history of multiples, but there you have it.  I
am keeping her twin sister and one of her nieces by Tatarian, so have decided to put Snowdrop on
the Sales List.  $600  RESERVED
