Fauna FRRR 112U

"Fauna" FRRR 112U Horned White Icelandic Ewe (twin)
Grandaughter of AI ram Gaddur. Friendly and curious. Not bred as a one winter ewe. Very solidly built ewe. Despite the leader sheep bloodlines in her background, she is not built like one at all. Fauna is one of those ewes that you never have to worry about, as she is a very keeper, and she took excellent care of her babies last year. I am finding that I really like these ewes that have a bit of leader sheep genetics in their backgrounds. My observations are that they are quite hardy, more parasite resistant and quite intelligent (but not too much so! :o) They also have better meat qualities than the lines that have strictly leader sheep bloodlines.

Fauna was our first ewe to lamb this year. Her twin ewes were born on the morning of March 31st. She showed no signs of lambing when I went down to do chores at 6 a.m., but by the next barn check at 10 a.m., she had all ready given birth, cleaned them up and had them nursing. She's such a good mama!

Flock dispersal price for Fauna and her twin ewe lambs $600 SOLD
