J & M Farm, White River Junction, VT

This page is dedicated to the younger ewes in our flock.

Junior ewes are defined as ewes that have not been bred, normally ewe lambs to yearlings.

First fresheners are the ewes that this is the first time they have been bred.

We normally do not breed our ewes until they are at least a year old.  Some first fresheners may be older due to how closely related they are to the current herdsire.  Example,  we will not breed brothers and sisters, fathers to daughters, sons to mothers.

All of the ewes trace back to the ewes of Fine Fettle Farm, which maintains a closed flock of ewes descended from the Lasseau flock.

As stated on our Jacob sheep for sale page, most of these ewes are available for purchase.  Prices have been assigned to the ewes according to our stated pricing policy on our for sale page.  Ewes marked RETAINED are not for sale.  Ewes marked RESERVED have been chosen for purchase and a deposit received.

JM Farm Pepito's Delilah   DOB: 3/14/2010   JSBA A027-10

  Dam: unknown Lasseau ewe

extended pedigree

Delilah is one of those ewes with a unique personality--she is one of those who is scared of her own shadow and anything that walks on two legs.  She is affectionately known as "Hellspawn" at shearing time--just will not stand even confined to a shearing stand. But other than that, she is a gorgeous ewe.  Her fleece is long and open without any quilting. her markings are just exquisite if a little small on the eyepatches. She is out of one of our favorite ewes, who does not show this flighty-ness (Delilah gets it from her father, who was also a little flighty).  We are hoping for some nice lambs out of her in 2012.  Confirmed bred by JM Farm Benjamin, lambed 3/15/2012--a ram lamb, JM Farm Benjamin's Daemon.  Available for $250 +$100 for her ram lamb before weaning or $250 after lamb is weaned.

  Dam: JM Farm Abraham's Naomi

extended pedigree

Abigail is a wonderfully marked ewe with a very wide 2 horned head.  She has started to show some freckling with the first shearing. Other than the slightest freckling, she has a wonderful fleece. She has a very Jacob personality, sort of standoffish and respectful. We are working to correct the freckling by breeding her to a ram with fewer leg markings and no freckling in his fleece.  Confirmed bred to Unzicker Mel, lambed 3/12/2012 with one ram lamb, JM Farm Mel's Adam.  Available for  $250 + $100 for JM Farm Mel's Adam, or $250 after lamb is weaned.

Elizabeth is a gorgeous ewe.  There is no quilting or freckling in her fleece, which is a lovely dense coat with medium staple.  Her horns are a little close, but will not cause her any trouble.

Confirmed bred to Unzicker Mel. Lambed March 3, 2012--set of twin ewes. SOLD
