Daughter of Cedar Pond's Mara and Cedar Pond's Viking

Jacob Sheep yearling ewe, daughter of Cedar Pond's Mara & Cedar Pond's Viking.

I love her very strong 4 horns and her quirky face. I haven't named her yet, thinking of the name Tovah. The name Tovah sounds strong and feminine.I have high hopes for the lambs from her next year.

 

Update : I did name her Tovah and she has been a wonderful mama to her lambs. She is the mama of Cedar Pond's Toril and a new lamb I've not yet named.



Daughter of Swallow Lane Barnaby & Cedar Pond's Thora

This yearling ewe is the daughter of Swallow Lane Barnaby and Cedar Pond's Thora.

She broke her far left horn sparring with her siblings, but it is a strong horn, as all of her 4 horns, and is growing back out .

 The lamb to the right in back of her is her sister born this year to their mom, Cedar Pond's Thora.

 This is one of the friendliest sheep I have here. If you rustle a cracker wrapper she practically climbs you to check it out, and when the other sheep are keeping their distance from me, this ewe is following me around snuffling my hands and pockets.She is one of the sweetest sheep I have had in a long time.I haven't named her yet, thus far her registration papers read "Cedar Pond's ________".

Goth The Ram & Thorin The Goat

Goth the ram and Thorin, the old goat.

They are separated by a livestock panel, but spend a lot of time nose to nose. Thorin  seems to enjoy licking Goth's face, and Goth enjoys Thorin licking his face.Friendships have been based on less, so I guess this works for them. The ram and the goat, the Goth and Thorin. Although Thorin does not realize it, he is fortunate the livestock panel separates them. Fences really do make for good neighbors when you're talking about a ram & a goat. ( a wethered goat at that)

Lambs & Grandchildren

Lambs, cute,spotted, wiggly, wooly little lambs...

 ...how can you resist them?

 By next spring these lambs will be grown. Within a few short years my granddaughters will be young women. Our days are fleeting.I hope my memories of these years remain, and my grandchildren remember them happily.

Sheep & Lambs SOLD ~ Thank-You Brandon

I have too many sheep for our property. It is time to sell a few, although I am reluctant about this, I love these sheep.

This is Cedar Pond's Valkyrie. She has 5 horns. Valkyrie was born 2/22/2008. Valkyrie had a ram lamb this year and he too is for sale. Valkyrie has a very nice pedigree with lines from Huntsberger, Puddleduck, Swallow Lane, and Bide-a-wee.

Valkyrie and her ram lamb are $150.00.( picture of Valkyrie lambing)(Valkyrie is Reserved for Brandon )

This is Cedar Pond's Ruth. She was born 2/4/2008. Ruth has 4 horns, but the horns on both sides of her head have fused giving her the appearance of 2 thick horns. The horns on her right are broken, to much sparring with another ewe. Ruth had twin ewe lambs. Ruth is registered and her twins are registrable. Mother and daughters are $300.00 ~ a starter flock!
One of Ruth's twins.( above) If you're interested in checking out the pedigrees of the registered sheep simply click onto JSBA* , the website for Jacob Sheep Breeders Association has a pedigree search. Follow directions for it using the name of the sheep you're interested in.

All ewes listed have been wormed & vaccinated.

Sassy Has The First Lamb of the Year

Cedar Pond's Sassafras ( Sassy) had the first lamb of 2012.

He is tiny, but very healthy.

She seems pleased with him, don't you think ?
