Even as a triplet yearling, Clover had a very well built lamb last spring who was amazing by fall, so she must have a very good udder.

This yearling gets the gold star out of the yearling class. She twinned early in the lambing season, mothers them effortlessly, they are even sized and growing very well. Watch this gal in the future; she could be one of our rising stars. A very handsome VAI ram lamb this year. 137T had top scores all last summer and never needed worming. She is repeating her record this year. Her twins last year also did very well, even though twins born to yearlings are usually very vulnerable. Wow!! |

4/25/07 | A granddaughter of Grimur; she was linebred to Solee who is her grandmother and great-grandmother for 3/8 Solee. Her big black spot on her leg is an indicator that she carries a recessive pattern, either gray or solid; moorit and/or spotting also possible. Leg Spot lambed early in the season last year and was a careful mother; by fall, her lamb was by far the largest single lamb born to a yearling. Go Leg Spot! Very nice looking twins this spring.

A definite to join the ewe flock! Only the second ewe to lamb this season out of the entire ewe flock, even as the youngest yearling. Excellent mother as a yearling, she is clearly following in the family tradition of top-notch mothering. Her ram lamb last year, 201U, was only wormed once on 8/1/08; very unusual in our climate for a lamb born to a yearling. |

Lykill is known in particular for leanness and carcass grading in his lambs,
and this is one meaty girl! 200U

Leg Spot is a careful, watchful mother and birthed easily. Just like her mother 213U lambed easily and is mothering well as a yearling. 213U was only wormed once last summer - spectacular for a lamb born to a yearling, and has not been wormed this summer while she raises her own lamb as a yearling.

Wow! Is this girl flashy! At first we couldn't figure out her color genetics, but have come to the conclusion that she is a homozygous gray in the black color with heavy tan pigmentation. She carries spotting; could carry moorit. 1/2 Blettur, 1/8 Flotti. 613N's udder is huge and productive and 236U is growing like crazy.

Wow! Are these lambs jazzy! Also, stocky, wide and fast growing as we have learned to expect from Ormur. Our Ormur ewe lambs are great yearling mothers and Topaz is doing an excellent job with these lambs, so expect very good maternal traits as well as the size, fleece and color. 1/2 Ormur, plus 1/16 each Heli, Sveppur and Flotti, 11/16 AI. One of the first to lamb out of the ewe flock, and only the second yearling to lamb this spring. Very sadly, her lamb was stolen by the fox.

He is too young for daughter results yet, but his score is an amazing 86, including 9.0 on his neck and shoulders, back and rump, and an incredible 18.5 on his leg! 248U carries solid and moorit from her dam. She is 1/2 Ljufur, 1/8 each Rektor and Kari, 1/16 Serkur, totals 13/16. With ram genetics like this, she will stay to join the ewe flock. Nice fleece! Only one dose of wormer required last summer!

Old Ma and Red below, are our
two best ever Matriarchs
"Ma" |
tan (white), horn, single | STS-91X | STS-76X | 4/13/90 | "Solee" is our matriarch and our treasure; 25 lambs in 12 years, all born live, all born and raised without intervention. Big ewe, healthy Holstein udder, calm, efficient mother, deep bodied. Carries solid, spotting, homozygous for moorit. Superior daughters. Many descendents in the flock. 14 yrs. old when she finally died. "Ma" as we call her at home, has produced an outstanding line; her strong maternal qualities carry down to her daughters, grand-daughters and great-grands. We are linebreeding to keep her outstanding genes in the flock to maintain her impressive influence. Her daughter 475M took second place in the Adult Ewe class at the National Icelandic Show in Rhinebeck, New York. |

A Zola granddaughter and highly valued member of our ewe flock, she has many descendents in the flock. Red gave us Rektor twins in 2005, fat, sassy Thokki twins last year, one of them, 920S has lambs this spring . Red has had a total of 24 lambs in ten seasons, for a lifetime lambing record of 240%. Retired 2006 but she decided to breed fall of 2007 and just had wonderful twins at 11 years old! Look for her grandbabies and great grandbabies in our flock. Red just died a natural, old age death this July. The passing of an era, as she was my last STS ewe from Stefania. But she has left us four treasured daughters plus a number of outstanding grandbabies; all a fitting tribute to a wonderful ewe. |
