Gotland ram lamb
Description
Prince is a handsome 81% Gotland ram lamb with a beautiful, tightly curled fleece. His sire was an AGSS recorded Gotland ram, Jazz, with an excellent silver grey Gotland fleece and nice personality. Prince’s dam is an AGSS registered Gotland ewe, very friendly with a tightly curled dark silvery black fleece. Prince is polled with a black lambs fleece. He has his dam’s white teardrop markings. He may develop a silver grey or lustrous black fleece as he ages. He is very friendly and growing well. Will be ready for breeding early this winter.
Available after weaning. Asking $800 recorded with AGSS with papers or $750 without.
Located near Calgary, AB. We may be able to arrange transport to BC in early August.

About our flock: We have a small, pasture-based flock of sheep that include some registered Icelandic ewes, registered and recorded Gotland ewes and ram and a growing number crossbred ewes. We are working on a Gotland up-breeding program and are also very excited about the cross between these two wonderful breeds. Our sheep co-graze with poultry and guardian donkeys. We use natural, sustainable practices as much as possible on our acreage. Our sheep are handled regularly and are also familiar with cats, dogs, and children.
About the breed: Gotlands are a triple purpose breed reputed to have the friendliest personalities in the sheep world. They are typically kept for fleece, pelts, and meat. They are hardy, thrifty, easy lambers, and look very handsome in the pasture. This special breed is quite rare in Alberta, but it is a growing population as people discover their attributes. There are very few 100% Gotland sheep in North America due to import regulations; so most local Gotlands are part of an up-breeding program (usually from Finns or BFL, but Icelandic are also accepted as a similar foundation breed). Gotland lambs are born black but their curls will usually “silver up” to various shades of lustrous grey as they age.
