I was a little late getting out to the barn this a.m. I arrived at 7am to find Esther already caring for her triplets. Three little ewes and all doing well.
These lambs will be of a higher fleece micron count, most likely 28 - 30avg.
I have been breeding for finer than this, but Ester is a 28 avg. micron ewe. I really like Esther's fleece
it's what some would say is a great fleece to learn to spin with, long staple length and drafts and spins easily. A beautiful grey color too. The ram I bred her to has a super fine fleece, Ram #115(black)...but you never know what you're going to get.
These little ladies are cute!
