Since I do not have a big flock, I have already decided who will be bred to who this fall. Provided Pete Moss is not AG, I will be keeping him. Tank will have most of my ewes.
Pete Moss:
LostLakeFarm Davina
I would put Davina with Tank and sell Pete Moss, but she needs to have her fleece improved in a BIG way. Her lambs from this spring are ok, but they are a tad too coarse for my liking. I will be keeping them as well, in hopes to improve them. From all indications thus far, Pete Moss is polled; I do not see or feel any scurs. I have no idea if Davina carries poll, so I will have a 50% chance of getting a polled sheep if she's breed to Pete Moss. If she were bred to Tank, who is scurred, she would only have a 25% of throwing poll. I am honestly hoping to get a spotted ewe from the Pete Moss + Davina combo. Davina carries spots.
Tank:
Underhill Bar
Lil' Country Moss Rose
Lil' Country Alberta
My plan is to keep Pete Moss for next years breeding so he can be bred to Davina, Velvet and Black Beauty and improve their fleeces. After that, I will probably sell him and buy another good quality ram. Pete Moss is related to most of my stock, so I can't keep him as long as I might like to. (If I find a good ram before this fall, I may sell Pete Moss.) Have a good day!
