Harlequin CTX 0178 - 0047 was born in April 2011 , purchased last fall and has since been blood tested for Paratuberculosis (Johnes) and OPP
(Ovine Progressive Pneumonia). Tests done by the Cornell University Diagnostic Center have shown Negative readings for these damaging illnesses. He is a triplet with both Stillmeadow and House Mountain genetics in his pedigree. Conformation and fleece quality are excellent as well as temperament. He is no longer needed for the quarantine period as a companion to a second ram who has joined my flock. Contact me for additional information.
Stillmeadow Finnsheep flock participates in the Voluntary Scrapie Flock Certification Program as NY69. On August 2, 2011 we had our 4th annual successful inspection and are in our 5th year with anticipation of being Certified Scrapie Free in August 2012.
Our flock also has had no incidences of Johnes Disease, O.P.P., Caseous Lymphadenitis,
Soremouth, or Footrot since 1997 and we practice bio-security to avoid those challenges.
Here at Stillmeadow we have been fortunate to become acquainted with people who value the unique qualities inherant to Finnsheep.
We encourage those who are just discovering this heritage breed and continually strive to offer superior breeding stock. Lambing season for 2012 will be in March. Those who wish to reserve lambs in advance are encouraged to contact us at any time.
