At EverRanch Farm we have a small flock of SBSBA Registered Scottish Blackface Sheep, NASSA Registered Shetland Sheep, Registered Finnsheep, % Gotlands and a few crosses.
We started in 2001 with the Scottish Blackface - 2 adult ewes and 4 lambs. Our second year flock is pictured in the 2002 EverRanch Fair Poster. We have since added NASSA registered Shetland Sheep, Finnsheep, Gotlands, and Leicester cross ewes for wool and meat variety.
In 2007, we added Gotland sheep to our flock! Gotland sheep are a medium sized, calm, friendly breed with long, soft, lustrous grey wool to die for! Prior to 2004, there was no Gotland blood in North American flocks. A handful of US flocks birthed 50% Gotlands in 2006. On November 13, nine of our ewes were artificially inseminated with purebred Gotland semen. In early April our own 50% Gotland lambs arrived. We continue to breed up these charismatic sheep. The flock includes seven 75% Gotland sheep as of 2010.
The Gotland Sheep Breeder's Association of North America has details on the breed, the breeding up program, the AI sires, and a list of Members.
We cut back on the numbers of ewes bred in 2010, and used the first of our NZ semen on the Gotland ewes, and Shetland ram Boulderneigh Blackberry on the Shetlands. For the first year ever, we had rams jump fences resulting in 4 "ooops" lambs... who turned out pretty nice! We have very nice lambs for sale and to keep. See our Sale Page or contact us for Spring and Yearling Lamb. The Farm Blog contains photos and updates of the 2009 lambs, and our Washington Wool page also lists sale sheep and other items..
