| Blanche White horned ewe (twin) Lambing record: 217+% Blanche has an amazing build - she is deep and wide and long. Even better - she also produces a gorgeous, silky fleece each fall that is always of good enough quality that it can be made into roving or yarn - even after nursing twins all summer. She always lambs unassisted and raises huge lambs. In 2006 she was 9 years old and produced a gorgeous, fast growing set of twins for us. As she went into her 10th year, she was getting arthritic in her back legs/hips but she was still strong and as wonderful as ever. A real treasure, we hope to always keep at least a couple of her daughters in the flock in order to assure that we don't lose this line. On this page we will highlight her daughters & granddaughters who are part of the flock. Blanche's incredible son, Ragnar, is in our ram group. Blanche passed away on April 27th, 2010 at the age of 13. She is very much missed and will always be remembered through her son, her daughters and grands and greatgrands that still grace our flock. Blanche is shown below left in February 2008 (age 11) with her 2007 daughter, Pearl. Below right she is shown in summer 2008 with her lamb, M'Dear. |
| LF257T "Pearl" White horned single (carries solid & spotting) 1/4 AI out of Tuli Lambing record: 1, 1, 1, 2 I couldn't possibly let this daughter out of Blanche (when she was 10 years old) go. She's got a Tulison as her sire and she's absolutely stunning in every way. She is shown above at 1 1/2 years of age. She also has become a "pet" and likes to follow me around when I do chores. Pearl is being bred to Visirson this season. |

| LF309U "M'Dear" White horned ewe (carries solid and moorit) Lambing record: 2, 2, 3 This lovely ewe lamb is out of our beloved Blanche (see above). Blanche was 11 when she had this lamb. Obviously we treasure this line and are so happy to have this lamb in the flock. M'Dear delivered twin ewe lambs unassited as a one winter ewe. Those lambs both grew out big and healthy with amazing parasite resistance. Her daughter "Kara" out of the Karison that first year she lambed, is staying in the flock (see below). M'Dear is with the Lodison this season. |

| LF361W "Bea" Daughter of Iceland ram Noi White horned twin Lambing record: 1, 2 What a gorgeous ewe and not only does she have the awesome Noi fleece genetics, but is also a Blanche granddaughter. I couldn't be more pleased to add this ewe to the ewe flock in 2009. Bea is being bred to Jefferson this season. |
| LF379W "Kara" White horned twin (out of M'Dear) 1/4 AI Kari Lambing record: 0, 2 This granddaughter of Blanche was very parasite resistant as a lamb and she and her twin (to a yearling dam) grew out to be as big as any twins from my older ewes, and in some cases, much bigger. She was not bred as a yearling so 2011 is her first lambing season. See why I can barely part with any of the ewes in this line? Kara is being bred to Jefferson for 2012 lambs. |
