Junior Ram Lamb Class
 Rick:
Placed First
Comments: Lamb has "done will" for a March buck. Could
be improved by "fixing up fleece" at back end where it is coarse. Lamb does
not have the shoulder to forerib junction judge like to see.
Yearling Ewe Class
Deanna:
Placed First
Comments: Very nice uniform fleece. Sheep stands up
straight on pasterns.
Lillian: Placed Second
Comments A little soft on pasterns. More wool on
legs would be nice. Sheep has a lot of wool. Wool is so
long it is hard to make it look nice.

Champion Ewe Class ~ Little
Annie vs. Deanna
 Little
Annie: Champion
Comments: Little Annie judged as champion due to better
quality fleece. Deanna's fleece judged as having less crimp.
Judge felt that Deanna needed more size and that Little Annie will probably
be the larger sheep as she grows out.

Lewis, Franka, Brigette & Fuzzy Bear
-
The flock size is about 50 head and consists
of both white and colored Corriedales, rare breed spotted Jacobs
and distinctive brown Moorits. Corriedales are the original dual
purpose breed developed in the 1860's in my home country of New
Zealand. The original foundation flock was from Olsen, Martin,
Dieterle and added bloodlines from Wisconsin and New York State.
The Corriedale fleeces give us a range of colours from white
and cream to silver grey, charcoal, chocolate brown and very
dark black. Whereas our sprightly Jacobs are treasured for the
tweedy yarn we spin from their wool, and the brown Moorits run
from fawn brown to mahogany and many shades in between. The sheep
are jacketed to maintain a very clean fleece and to preserve
the distinctive colours.
