A Study in Scarlet, er Gingers, er Moorit...

Veronica Lake.

The old type, and lovely. She looks so much like her dam, Fletcher Vanna, and grand-dam, Dailley Violet. I'll use V and her daughters in the Foula AI program, and then retire her to producing pure Dailley lambs to keep the line alive. (I truly prefer the Dailley stock via Dayspring, Cochran, Maple Ridge, Fletcher and Bitterroot.) In addition to every daughter she's produced, I've kept her flame-red, 2011 tup lamb by Minder Masada as a junior flock sire.

Shady Oaks Anouk.

You can see that she has a bit of English in her. Marybeth has good sheep of both the old and modern types. I'm planning to use Anouk in the AI program with the Flockbook moorit tup(s) I'll be over buying for SonCroft Genetics this fall.

Both of these girls are bred to Thunderhead Fuego this year and I'm hoping for some nice, patterned moorit lambs.
**Crossing my fingers for twin ewe lambs... And maybe some horns!

Flower's Ewe Lamb

She's one of my favorite lambs this year. 

Llooks a little bit like her mother, eh?

Rita Hayworth's ewe, so very, very Rita.

Some of the flock...

I've got the Shetlands in a savory grazing, electric block rotation. The ewes are in swell condition and will be marvelously fat by tupping. A few ewe lambs are passing some tapeworm segments, so I need to figure out how to herd the little devils down to the corral without them scattering like a bushel basket full of grasshoppers... There are several ram lambs ready to slaughter, and I've been thinking of grilling, roasting or pan-searing a particular blonde-musket ram lamb...
