Red Barn Wool Percival, currently residing in Texas needs a new flock of ladies. He's had some stunning big and flashy babies this year, and he himself was a 2023 ram, but is already the same size or larger than my mature ewes. Take a look and let me know if you need him! Transportation is available in October.
One ewe out of Percival and Ballyhoo Sirtur is available, Foate Diana (registration pending).
One ram is available, out of RBW Helga and Percival (able to be registered).

I'm needing to find a home for Foate Lenny, I was hoping to keep him for my flock, but the logistics are just not working.
He is a 2023 ram out of my favorite horned ewe, Oak Haven Shirley and state champion ram Ballyhoo Cirb. He is proven, carries a modifier and spots, (and likely the gene for horned ewes).
His temperament is beautiful, if you call him in the field he will come running and sniff your hand but is very respectful. His fleece could probably be qualified for the fine fleece association if that is something that is important to you. Check out comments for a close up video.
He is located in La Grange Kentucky, and I am willing to provide transportation in exchange for fuel costs.
I am currently looking for a new flock sire, and would potentially be interested in trading bloodlines.

Note: flock is located in San Angelo Texas.
These sheep are all looking for new homes: twin rams by Red Barn Wool Helga, a single ewe by Ballyhoo Sirtur and their dad, Red Barn Wool Percival. All go with papers.

If you've claimed a fleece, please be patient.
If you haven't bought a fleece, yarn, wool pellets, or anything else, please consider it.

Mac performed a Madeline last night. He was running full out when he hit a concrete step in the grass, somersaulted, and came up dead lame. Alex had to carry him to the house.
Turns out he fractured his patella, and will probably need a few bone fragments surgically removed. He got a few stitches and he's on full crate rest for 2 weeks. I repeat: our working BC, who loses his mind if he's stuck indoors for 3 consecutive rainy days, now has to lie still for 10-14 days, 23hrs/day. He got his cone off 3 times before he left the vet.
Anyway, there goes this year's farm income to date. Please buy our wares so Mac doesn't end up crippled and arthritic like me.

Newest baby is a girl by Ballyhoo Sirtur and Red Barn Wool Percival. I think Percy copy and pasted with this one 😆 All of the lambs so far will be available and registered on weaning. Located in San Angelo TX.
