LF 146R Willow (5/16/2005)
Black/grey mouflon horned twin
Lambing record: 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1,
Sire: LF 29P - Flotti grandson; Old Mori, Finull, and Golsa genetics
Dam: Claudia (BLW 101K) - Serkur daughter
One should never have "favorites", but EVERYBODY loves Willow! She used to look just like a
gazelle, but now she looks more like a rhino, and has taught quite a few of her flockmates to cast
themselves to the ground whenever a person grabs them. Way to go, Willow - thanks a lot! She has
a broad, meaty frame like her grandpa Serkur, and a thick fleece with loads of thel. Low fertility may
have something to do with the Flotti part of her pedigree - very low prolificacy score for Flotti
offspring according to Southram.
LF 113R Noelle (4/3/2005)
White horned twin
Lambing record: 1, 2, 2, 0, 2, 2,
Sire - Noi (AI)
Dam: Athena (SRX360J) - AI Molidottir
This large gal is a lovely blending of the meat conformation of her mother, Athena, and the more
delicate fleece conformation from Noi. She has her Daddy's fleece for sure! She has very good
horns and is more parasite-resistant than her mother. Like Sugarmaple, she appears to be
homozygous white, as all her lambs are white. Noelle was open for some reason in 2009 - darn
the luck. 2012 will be Noelle's last year as a breeding ewe - not holding condition despite a very
mild winter.
LF 101R Maureen (3/30/2005)
Black horned single
Lambing record: 0, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2!
Sire - Molur (AI)
Dam: Haera (TCE 126N) - Hunn granddaughter
Maureen is an extremely large, masculine ewe - our shearer even wondered if she was able to
conceive given the imbalance of hormones that she appears to have. She may not have the
sterling lambing record of some, but she is still capable of being a mother; her problem is that the
lambs grow too large and suffer birthing trauma. Our portion-controlled feeding system worked
like a charm, and Maureen delivered two outstanding lambs in 2011 without assistance!
TKM148S Tamarix (4/23/06)
White horned twin
Lambing record: 0, 1, 2, 1, 2,
Sire: Tyr (AI) - Laekur grandson: carries bloodlines from Garpur and Thettir
Dam: TKM 02F - Unrelated to any of the influential North American Icelandics
in the HolliBerri flock
We are thrilled to have this lovely girl in our flock, especially since she has no Moli 93 ancestors,
nor is she related to Old Mori, Finull, Saddleback, Golsa, or Blessa. Tamarix has the beautiful
profile of her father, and the most incredible conformation. She is sure to be treasured for years
to come! In 2008, she had her first lamb, an 11-pound daughter all by herself! This is an
amazing achievement, and makes me really treasure the Tyr bloodlines.
