Olive Branch Dune

|
I’m putting this guy front and center, I bet you can’t guess why! ;)
Since the day he was born, Dune has been flouncing and bouncing all around the barn. He amazed us and retained his dark black color (with only hints of grey), even into the summer. We even sold his 1 lb lamb fleece at Rhinebeck (NY state sheep and wool festival) for $120…. That’s how nice it is! This fleece of his also took Grand Champion Primitive Fleece at this years Big E (see the last photo in the slideshow). I’d like to see Dune breeding his own flock of ewes next year, and even gracing a show ring if he’s lucky! Shoot us an email to learn more about this charmer. :) $400 Sire: Finch Hill Stargazer Dam: Olive Branch Cedar D.O.B: I can’t recall NASSA #: Pending |
Olive Branch Neptune
|
|
Another stunning lamb out of our new boy Stargazer! Neptune has a fantastic body on him, and dense lustrous fleece too boot. He’s is a light emsket spotted gulmoget - say that three times fast! He will make a lovely breeding ram to some lucky flock. For now we’ll be retaining him, to see how he grows into his yearling year. Just let us know if you’d like to put your name in for him now. :)

Freddy’s Leroy
|
|
Another stunning ram out of Stargazer! Leroy has quite a bit of spunk to him, and plenty of flash. He has a gorgeous dark moorit fleece, with developing lighter spots as he’s aging. He was born about a month after the rest of the lambs, and has caught right up! I think this boy would make a fantastic breeding ram (some really cool genetics in his line). Or he’d make a great weather too!

Olive Branch Loch
|
|
This is our resident “mini shnitz”, a spitting image of his father in attitude and appearance. Such a crimpy and lustrous fleece, with natural color variation all over. Loch would make a lovely fiber animal, or breeding ram if you’re welcoming to the occasional “UK” petite horns. Horn genetics are weird, but based on Isle’s male relatives, I’d say his ram lambs have a 80% chance of wide sweeping horns, and about a 20% of the smaller ones. It’s so random!
But truly, this boy is lovely from head to toe. :) $300 Sire: Freddy’s Shnitzel Dam: Olive Branch Amythest D.O.B: I can’t recall NASSA #: Pending |
Olive Branch Isle
|
|
Now onto Isle! Twin to Loch above, and the polar opposite. See what I mean about the sweeping horns, they’re in there!
Isle is another stunning ram, who takes after his mother Amythest. He has a longer staple, but still has lots of crimp, color, and luster. He’s a dark grey, katmoget, but he even has spots of dark grey / emsket. Isle would make another great fiber ram, or breeding ram - up to you! $300 Sire: Freddy’s Shnitzel Dam: Olive Branch Amythest D.O.B: I can’t recall NASSA #: Pending |
Wethers
We don’t have any rams weathered at this exact moment, however here are the boys we think would make amazing wethers.
Titan
|
|
Titan is down here just because I don’t totally trust his horns. Even after 15+ years horns are still a total mixed bag, we never know how they’ll turn out. However that doesn’t mean he’s not an amazing ram! He has a fine/medium fleece, that’s open but still has don’t of density. He comes from a very long and wavy dam, and a medium crimpy sire. Match mate in heaven!

Jelly & Jam
|
|
These two guys are down here just because their tails are a pinch too long for my liking. Besides that they are incredible little fiber animals, they produced more wool then most of the other rams twice their size! I can’t tell them apart, but I promise they are both unique critters. I have a video of Jam being so snuggly, send us an email and I can send it over. :) (for some reason I can’t post videos on here - boo).
$150 (per ram) Sire: Olive Branch Agave Dam: Freddy’s Marmalade D.O.B: I can’t recall |
