live sheep Mixed North American Flocks

The take-home message for mixed British and American flocks is to jump right in and try it. The surprises are every bit as much fun as the meticulously-calculated odds involved in carefully-planned breeding.

We assumed we would get a dark brown, hopefully mahogany, lamb from the Grace/Chestnut breeding, a sort of reverse Lady and the Tramp situation. Once again we got twins, but this time out came the most beautifully-colored Soay we have ever seen, Fennel and her twin Fenugreek, who surprised us by being light-phase (tan). As newborns, they both had gloriously fluffy, light reddish fleece. The good news is that both of them have retained their luxurious fleece, deep colors, and overall good looks as adults. Here they are.
