We are located in the Southeast corner of Washington State, where we have raised quality finn sheep since 1982. We raise white, black, brown, fawn, gray and pied finns. We keep several different bloodlines so we can offer unrelated animals for sale.
We breed for productivity, milking ability, consistency, fleece quality, and size. We prefer a finn that is big enough to handle quadruplets, with enough milk to raise them with very little human intervention. We had the second set of septuplets born in the US in 1985, and many of our animals go back to that bloodline.
We like the Finn breed due to the docile, friendly nature of both the rams and the ewes. The lambs are very hardy. Most of our ewes lamb without assistance. We supplement large litters of lambs twice a day, and leave them on their mother.
I have been trying to expand the gray color in my flock, and was fortunate last year to have both gray and blue-gray animals born. Now to see if i get the same color in their offspring!
Lambing starts March 1st. I will be selling some adults this year as well as lambs. While I hate to sell my ewes, I simply have too many for my acreage. I will be updating sale lists as I can throughout the month of March.
Devil - 3L 2-53 Celebrates her 10th birthday with a set of quints
This is the kind of ewe line we try to raise. All of the ewes are very consistent. She is shown here with her 2007 sextuplets at one month old - all still being raised on her (with some supplemental milk). Her lambing record is 1-4-5-6-6-6-2-4-4-5 for 43 lambs in 10 years, with only one lamb born dead(died in utero - very small). This bloodline is one of my most productive! Angel, one of her daughters (3L 6-26) has had 24 lambs in 6 (3-3-5-3-5-5) years, and her dam, Abbey (Witt 3-97), had triplets when she died at age 14! Abbey has a 3-2-4-4-4-3-4-3-3 lambing record for the years that we have owned her (333%, or 30 lambs in 9 years). Devil's niece Meeka (3L 6-36), had 6 lambs in 2009 at age 3 (2-5-6-4-5-5) and had quints this year for a 450% lifetime. This is the kind we like! Easy to work with, good mothers and lots of milk.
