The NEWS is out! It's official!
AI lambs (AIs) are no
longer restricted to flocks enrolled in the Scrapie program!
We
are again taking reservations for your choice of lambs! Each $100 will reserve your place to choose
one lamb; first come, first served. If you want to choose more than one,
a deposit is required for each choice. We will send a list of all the
lambs born to each person with a reserved spot before the official list
is published on the website. Your
$100 deposit is refundable. if there isn't a lamb you want, your full
deposit will be refunded, provided you make your decision in a timely
manner. Everyone on the list will be anxious to
make their pick, so we ask that you are considerate and make your decisions
quickly. We will provide
pictures and any information you may reasonably require. We ask for a
deposit of 1/3 the sales price of the lamb at the time you make your decision.
Your $100 reservation will be
added to that deposit. If you should choose a lamb and it is removed from
the available list and later decide you do not want that lamb, your deposit
will not be refunded. We have to do this, to prevent lambs from being
reserved only on speculation. If the lamb you choose should become ill
or fail to grow out to our expectations, we will offer a full refund or
the opportunity to place the deposit on another lamb. The official 2008
Sales list will be posted for the public after those with reservations
have made their decisions. SO,
let us know if you want horned or polled when you make your reservation,
and we will let you know your place in the order as soon as your $100
deposit is received.
SEND YOUR RESERVATION TO:
Elaine Clark
P.O. Box 54
Limerick, ME 04048
I will notify your by email or
telephone, be sure to provide that information.
I would APPRECIATE an email to
frelsi@wildblue.net or a call to 207-793-4640 so that I will
be watching for your deposit.
Fall 2007 breedings for Spring 2008 Lambing
We were very pleased with our
breeding season this fall. We had
a final tally of 25 ewes successfully AI'd (artificially inseminated )
to 20 different outstanding Icelandic studs.
We have another 10 ewes bred to our best farm rams. There are several ewe lambs bred to rams
lambs: we will be watching this group carefully as they mature, to see
who will become part of the breeding stock here. It appears that 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.
As we all know, you can't count your lambs until they hatched there
are months of waiting before we see these new cuties make their debut
in April 2008. We are posting the matings on the website here to give you a chance to think about who might fit into your flock
and provide an opportunity for you to reserve your first choices.
The lambs are due around April 1st..no fooling!We
will be as diligent as possible about posting the births and baby pictures.
In the meantime...
Our
lambs were on TV: and they're very cute: check them out!
