| 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 is 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. Blanche produced a lovely daughter for us in 2007 (see Pearl, below). On this page we will highlight her daughters who are part of the flock. Blanche's incredible son, Ragnar, is in our ram group. Blanche is shown below in February 2008 (age 11) with her 2007 daughter, Pearl. For the 2009 lambing season, we are exposing Blanche to the Eldarson, although if she lambs it will be a bonus. We just want her to be healthy and live our her long life as happy as she can be. Any lamb(s) she may produce are already reserved. |

| LF124R "Bianca" 3/8 AI (Rektor/Morro) White horned single (carries moorit & spotting) Lambing record: 2, 2, 3 A treasured daughter of "Blanche," this beautiful ewe had moorit spotted twin lambs as a one winter ewe, unassisted. She's a wonderful mother and has the same long, deep and wide build that her dam does. Her 2008 triplet daughters all grew out well without assistance. |
| LF257T "Pearl" White horned single (carries solid) 1/4 AI out of Tuli Lambing record: 1 I couldn't possibly let this daughter out of Blanche (when she was 10 years old) go. She's got Tulison as a 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. |

| LF305U "Ida Bean" AI lines include Rektor and Mango Grey moorit horned triplet This gorgeous ewe lamb is out of Bianca (above). We are so pleased to add her to the flock this year. Ida Bean will not be exposed to a ram this first season. |
 |
| LF309U "M'Dear" White horned ewe (carries solid or badgerface) 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 will not be bred this season, giving her time to fill out. |
 |
| LF288U "Onyx" Black horned single (out of a one winter ewe) This very pretty, fast growing ewe lamb is out of our "Pearl" which makes Onyx a granddaughter of Blanche. We knew this lamb was staying in the flock as soon as I found her up and nursing with her new mama. Onyx is being exposed to the Eldarson this season. |
