Julian

Julian is a Katahdin/Dorper cross ewe of ours. She was born in mid January of 2011 and was a triplet. Julian is a calm ewe (just like her dam). She is a VERY pretty ewe, has good conformation and is built very nice and big . . . .she also throws beautiful offspring (color wise and conformation). She lambed to her first lambing in February 2012 (when she was just a year old) and had twins (her first time!).

Her sire is a Katahdin ram named, Rocky and her dam is a Doper ewe named, Snickers.

Tiger Lily

Tiger Lily is a BEAUTIFUL Katahdin ewe of ours. We got her on July 27th, 2012. I do not know exactly how old she is but, my guess is between 4 to 6 years old. She has EXCELLENT conformation and is built VERY nice and big and meaty/stocky. She has BEAUTIFUL coloring. She is white with chocolate ticking all over her body along with some bigger ticking/small spots.

She is running with our Katahdin ram, Martinez right now.
