HMFF White Knight This is my Border Leicester herdsire... not the best picture being after a muddy May, but he grows a 12 inch staple fleece, uniform and great character to the locks. Fleece weight this spring was 15 lbs! He is easy to get along with. Halter leads. Classic roman nose. He is a big guy, but gentle. Born in 2004 to HMFF Guenevere ( white) and HMFF Jupiter (silver). Proven breeder 5 generation pedigree included. $250

A big black Hybrid Leicester yearling ram out of Beechtree Blackpark (GC Colored Ram at Michigan Fiberfest and registered Bluefaced Leicester) and HMFF Raven (black Border Leicester). Very stylish with that perfect Hybrid fleece of fine and long. 5 generation pedigree provided. $200

This is a classy yearling ram with all the fine diameter of a Bluefaced Leicester, but with a much better fleece weight at shearing time. Has the classic roman nose and clean legs of all Leicesters and the blue skin from the BFL. Dam is HMFF Danielle (white Hybrid out of Beechtree Danforth) and sire is Beechtree Blackpark (GC Colored Ram at Michigan Fiber Fest) 5 generation pedigree. $250
