Ewes for sale.. click here. AI lambs (AIs) are no longer restricted to flocks enrolled in the Scrapie program! 2010 Breeding “who was bred to whom” list at Frelsi Farm There are many new faces on the breeding list this year. We are expecting our best lambs ever! Many of our mature ewes were sold last year to make room for their wonderful daughters. As we have said before, if your breeding plan is working, the best animals on your farm should be your lambs. That has been the case more and more often here. We are very proud of these new ewes in this year’s bred ewe flock. These two year olds show great potential. We have also kept 13 of last year’s ewe lambs, watching how they are growing and maturing. Some of the ewes we bred this year will be available for your flock improvement, as our yearling girls move up in the breeding flock, and some of the yearlings will also be offered for sale. We are keeping the best of the best here and offering you some of our top quality ewes for your flock. We have very high standards, and will keep and sell only the best of the sheep here. Our meat customers reap the benefits of the animals that are not up to our breeding standards. Only the finest... is our motto and our goal. You can trust that our animals will build a sound foundation for a new flock or enhance the quality of your flock. Improve your flock in one day…put our 14 years of careful breeding to work in your flock this year. What does "reserved" mean? Reserved means
someone has put down a deposit on a sheep. You can ask to be wait listed
for a specific sheep on the rare (very rare, we should warn you) chance
that the lamb isn't picked up. Aren't they lovely? To reserve yours please contact us by email if possible so we can mark your lamb as chosen! SEND Snail Mail TO: Elaine Clark P.O. Box 54 ,Limerick, ME 04048 I will notify you by email or telephone, be sure to provide that information. Again: email to frelsi@frelsifarm.com or a call to 207-793-4640 to claim your lambs! The USDA/APHIS has passed a new ruling that will allow the lambs born from AI pregnancies (referred to as F1's) using imported semen will no longer be restricted to flocks enrolled in the Voluntary Scrapie Flock Certification Program. This opens up a wonderful opportunity for increasing the genetic base in many more flocks. And, offers you the chance to add some of our very best lambs, yearlings and adults to your flock. For those of you enrolled in the program, we are flock ME-02 and were certified July 20, 2005. Our lambs were on TV: and they're very cute: check them out!

How do you build your flock if your farm budget is a little tight? Time, you'll find, is the friend of a farm on a shoestring. You'd be amazed what a little time can buy you. Take a look at a sample farm that wants Icelandic Sheep, but needs time so they can spread the investment out over a period of time. Building a Flock on a Shoestring We have an explanation of our sheep classes and pricing in our article Budgeting and Building Your Flock. To reserve an ewe, contact us with the ewe's identifying number. A 50% deposit will hold your ewe at the barn until it is ready to travel. Longer boarding can be arranged. We also participate in several sheep shows and fairs around the New England area during the summer and fall, and transport of your animal to one of these venues can be arranged.
