The Butternut Flock - Jacob Sheep

Several of the lines in the flock can trace back to some of the first Southwind Sheep.

Anyone who attended the AGM in Cooperstown NY in 2017 may remember C**t. C**t tried to get everyone there to throw his ball. He was annoyed during the sheep show that everyone was distracted and no one was throwing the ball.

We said goodbye to C**t today, he was 15 years old.

For the past 20+ years or more I have been dealing with Ledyard Farms. First way back at Southwind a couple came and purchased a starter flock. Over the years both at Southwind and here someone would show up every few years and we would swap rams. Today was ram swap day. Butternut Cadwaladr left for his turn and Leaf Creek My Man Godfrey came home. I am excited to be able use Godfrey on a few ewes this fall. He produced some really nice lambs last time he was here. Right now he is keeping company with the ewes that have been with Cadwaladr.

The ewe next to Godfrey was sired by Ledyard Linden.
