Fall 2009 Lambs!  -- These two sets of twin lambs were born in late September 2009 from the new Hatley line being developed and preserved at Bellwether Farm.

Their sire is SSF Moose (a 100% Hatley ram sired by KHF Calvin #13).  Their dams are Dolly and Emily, the 100% VSU twin daughters of Nuisance VSU (sired by St. Lucy VSU).  All four of these lambs are about as perfect as they come and are hailed as a great success for this new bloodline.  The two ewe lambs are being retained to increase this bloodline.  The two wonderful ram lambs are smooth polled as of 04/19/10, and both ram lambs are FOR SALE. 

Fawn #329 Kept as breeding ewe.	Jeremiah #330 FOR SALE!
Guinivere #331 Kept as breeding ewe.	Kinkaid #332 SOLD!
