4/28/08 And let the Giants begin…..
Just look at what Llana delivered!!!
Only one word can describe this ram
Lamb….BRAWNY!! Only hours old and standing to his dam’s shoulder point, Gulliver, combines the massive size of his sire, Phoenix, with the superb fleece of his dam.
Just look at the head of this guy, only hours old and already
has the masculine “rammy” head and presence of his father. Tall and solidly built, his body looks like a Xerox copy of Phoenix’s when he was a lamb.
Gulliver is a Grey Black with heavy flashing and carries Moorit . We are currently considering keeping him for our breeding program, but if interested, please contact us to inquire about his availability.

Gulliver just hours old!!!!
4/28/08 Huey and Dewy shake up the maternity pen…..
Poor Milk Lips!!!! Milky delivered the most rambunctious set of ram lambs we have ever seen!! Even before his brother was done being born, Dewy was chasing after another ewe, forcing Milky to scramble after her wayward son with the other preparing to swan dive into the world!!! Classic leader lamb vitality!!!
Huey and Dewy are sired by our Blesa grandson Leonardo, giving these rams a combination of impressive conformation, strong curling horns, and leader line genetics; throw in the excellent fleece of their dam and you have two very promising flock sire prospects!!!
Huey is Solid Black, while Dewy is a Grey Black. Both lambs carry spotting and may carry Moorit. Both are available, please contact us to reserve these “bad boys”.

4/28/08 Lily delivers huge again times two …..
Not happy with the delivery of single, spectacularly, huge lamb, Bessie ,in 2007, Lily outdoes herself, giving birth to not one, but two behemoth lambs.
Cesar and Cleopatra, sired by our leader ram Leonardo, have both parents massive correct confirmation and long, long legs. Watching this pair attempt their first steps was like watching a person walking on stilts!!!
We are really looking forward to seeing this pair grow on Lily’s ample milk. These lambs come from a long line of “HUGE”, most of which we have retained and incorporated into our breeding program. Their large size, combined with Leonardo’s Blesa leader line genetics will make this pair a thing to be reckoned with in any breeding program!!!
Both lambs are extremely charismatic, clamoring for attention whenever you enter the maternity pen.
Cleopatra is a Spotted Grey Black and Cesar is a Spotted Grey Black with striped horn buds. Both lambs may carry Moorit.
We are currently considering keeping Cleo for our breeding program, but if interested, please contact us to inquire about her availability. Cesar is available.
4/29/08 White! White! White!
Unlike most Icelandic flocks, we are WHITE deprived. So the birth of two white lambs is a special occasion!!! And just look at the adorable “bunnies” Molly delivered for us!!!
Rose and Jack (yeah we are Titanic fans), were sired by our leader ram Leonardo. These lambs blend the incredibly dense thel filled fleece of their dam with the solid, large confirmation of their sire. A winning combination, not to mention they are just too darn cute!!!
Molly is a very attentive mother with ample milk and these lambs are destined to grow out fast!!!
Both lambs are have been spoiled since birth and will fall asleep in your lap while scratching between their ears!!! Jack possesses a very masculine aura, while Rose gives off a dainty feminine air. What a precious pair!!!!
Both Jack and Rose are bright white and Jack has striped horn buds. Both lambs carry spotting and may carry Moorit. These lambs carry both the Flotti line and Blesa leader sheep genetics.
We are currently considering keeping both for our breeding program, but if interested, please contact us to inquire about their availability.
