Meet Hobbyknob Octavia. She is the 2008 lamb of Painted Rock Gabrielle. She is the busy body of the flock. Octavia has 2 nicely balanced horns and the eye patches of her sire Hosea. Her fleece is dense. I will try and loosen that up next year with a ram with looser more open locks.

Barking Rock Angelina - Retired
Although I would like to continue breeding Angelina it has become too hard to keep weight on her. She will spend her remaining years here.
Cleo is out of Andy and Clementine. She has a more open fleece than her mother and I sold her father so I have decided to keep her. Cleo will be bred in the fall of 2011 to our new ram. Her 4H single ewe lamb out of Expresso is on the right. She will be rebred to Expresso for 2012 lambs.
Sire: Hobby Knob Andy
Dam: Perfect Clementine
Cotswold Ewe - Sunstar
Sunstar is my one and only 100% Cotswold ewe. She has an open, lustrous fleece, good mothering instinct and as true to the Cotswold breed is very gentle and tame. I had planned on more colored Cotswold ewes but it seems I found some other sheep I like also so I had to draw the line. She was a triplet but has never had more than twins.
Sire: Critter Crossing C02736
Dam: Twin Maples C01574
Cotswold Ewe - Turtle
Turtle is the ewe twin of Sunstar and Mohegan. I have decided to keep her for now as her mother is 7 and she is the first purebred ewe offspring.
Her twin ram is on my sales page..
Sire: Mohegan
Dam: Sunstar

Squirt is a triplet from my very first ewe, Percy. Am glad I did as Percy has since died. She has a beautiful,fine silver fleece. Percy delivered triplets every year she was bred but only one year did she have ewe lambs. I kept this one and am glad I did as Percy died this winter. Squirt is bred for the first time bred to a Coriedale ram.
Coopworth - Coop
Coop
This is Coop the Coopworth wether. He is getting up there in age but always produces a nice large white fleece. Even at 10 his fleece made some wonderful yarn and batts. He was one of my first sheep so
he is growing old here. He always feels lite as a feather when that fleece comes off!
Moorit Coriedale and half Cotswold - Stella
Stella - DOB 3/09
Sire: Riddick(wellspring farm)
Dam: Squirt
Placed 1st in natural colored fine wool aged ewe class at SAFF.
Although Stella has Cotswold from her dam she is expressing the fine crimp of the moorit corriedale. Her fleece is brown on the tips but dark chocolate on the inside. She only has to be sheared once a year! Yea! You can see her ram at www.wellspringfarm.com. Since her fleece is so different from all the others, I have decided to keep her in the flock for the time being. Stella is registered with the Natural Colored Wool Growers Association.
