Stillmeadow Finnsheep Ewes
Our ewe flock represents a consistant effort to select highly maternal dams from the wide genetics we have introduced since 1994. The need for repeated downsizing has enhanced our flock since only the top ewes have been retained. We currently manage the flock for annual lambing in April and field turnout in May which allows lambs to achieve their growth from lush pasture grasses. By supporting the ewes nutritionally we are rewarded with dams who have ample milk to feed litters of four.
In addition to the high productivity from our eighteen Finn ewes, we immensely enjoy their temperaments. As lambs they socialize easily and become extremely friendly and easy to handle. By working toward specific goals we have also been able to improve wool quality and introduce a full rainbow of natural colors.
It is my good fortune to share this tranquil hilltop with these lovely creatures .
