NEED A GREAT RAM FOR THIS FALL?

Every year I save back 2 or 3 of the BEST ram lambs to grow out to yearling size.

HMFF Rook Born 2005

Rook is a Hybrid Leicester (Bluefaced x Leicester) and will have an incredible fleece: both long AND fine. Distinct locks. Clean face and legs make shearing a breeze! $200

HMFF Jack Be Nimble Born 2005

Jack is a 3/4 Bluefaced Leicester (1/4 Border) and has the fleece of a Blueface . Blue skinned with classic roman nose . Distinct purled locks. Clean legs and faces make shearing a breeze. $200

For more information on either of the above rams, please contact me at hmffarm@fidnet.com

The Animal Identification Sheep Working Group of the ASI met in June at Kansas City,MO under the direction of Cindy Wolf, DVM. The primary focus was to review current research on identification devices (microchips, tags, tattoos, etc) that might be recommended to use for the NAIS for sheep. The American Sheep Industy supports the NAIS as long as the plan is economical and workable ; and at this time feels that there is no advantage to implementing a new identification system over the one currently in place for the National Scrapie Identification Program (tags with premise ID) which has proven itself to be the most effective in animal agriculture to date. Note: all HMFF sheep and goats that leave the farm are tagged with an official scrapie tag or are tattoo'd per National Scrapie Eradication Guidelines.
