This morrit badgerface girl is absolutley beautiful. Her creamy white fleece with a small amount of morrit will make a nice variegated yarn.
Olivia is adopted by Debra, a fiber enthusiast in Virginia. Debra is also the adoptive mom of Jemimah and Lola.

Don't let that sweet face and darling little perfectly placed dot on her forehead fool you. This girl, in typical leadersheep style, is a wild child. She considers her personal space from us to includes a three mile radius (never mind those fences!!!). Maybe she'll grow out of it....maybe not!!! Her fleece is more bright white than many of our other white ewes.

Priscilla
This ewe has a pearly white fleece with the exception of a little light tan cape on the back of her neck. Her mama is a thel rich producing ewe. This ewe has a "wait and see" personality...always careful to see what her flock mates do before acting. She has a sweet face and soft eyes.

This creamy white ewe has very lustrous fleece. I have spun all of her fleece from last fall and it had such a high sheen it spun more like mohair. Her fleece would be great for dyeing. Esther is a very aware ewe. She is the first to see me coming to the barn lot and never likes to do things the easy way. Instead of grazing a perfectly good pasture she will rest on her front knees and eat right next to the fence. She is also known to wait under the Sycamore trees in the fall for the leaves to drop to have as part of her afternoon snack. Everyone who visits our farm always remembers Esther.
Esther was adopted by Liz, a beginner spinner, on January 30th, 2008.

| Phebe
This ewe produces a large amount of lustrous creamy white fleece. It almost has a soft butter color to it in the sunlight. Her last shearing was 4.2 pounds before skirting. Her fleece is rich in thel and very soft to the touch. Phebe is a sweet ewe who likes to stay an arms length away. She is always the hardest ewe to catch when we are doing routine work such as hoof trimming.
Phebe was adopted by Charles, a spinner in British Columbia, in June, 2006 and was readopted by him until June, 2008.

Tamar
This beautiful ewe is a morrit badgerface. The majority of her fleece is light khaki color with pale chocolate on her belly. The two could be carded together to create a light tan roving or carded side-by-side for a more tweedy look. She has exquisite fleece with very little or no tog. Tamar is such a joy to have in our flock. She is gentle and sweet, always wanting to be next to us.
Tamar was adopted by Garen, a spinner in California, in January 2008.

This pearly white ewe is big and beautiful. Her fleece has a wonderful sheen to it. She is a shy girl, never letting us get too close. Lois is a people/ sheep watcher, always wanting to see what those around her are doing.

Dorcas
This ewe is the twin sister of Tamar and has equally wonderful fleece. There was very little or no tog in her lamb fleece. This would be a great ewe to adopt if you have plans for a close-to-the-skin project. Dorcas is a sweet ewe. She is a "peacemaker". Despite her smaller stature, if two ewes are ramming heads, Dorcas is quick to get between them to break it up.

This beautiful creamy white girl seems to possess the wonderful fleece qualities of her mama, Phebe. The soft little ringlets on this sweet ewe should grow into an exquisite lamb fleece by shearing time. This ewe has a darling face with a sweet little freckle just above her nose. We are excited to see her personality come out over the next few months.
Naarah was adopted on May 25, 2007 by Christine, a spinner in New Mexico, who may one day have a flock of her own!!!

Herodias
This gorgeous ewe with thel rich creamy white fleece is a very serious girl. She stares at us with wide eyes, never turning away. When all the other sheep kick up their heels and run down the hill, Agar walks calmly. Her personality is definitely a bit "stiff".
Adopted by Joan, a spinner from Indiana.
