Nekomis' Fleece

FirthofFifth Nekomis is a strong contender for elite ram status here over Jazz :) Nekomis as a 2 year old microned ridiculously low numbers. AFD 21.8 / SD 4.6 / CV 21 / CF 97.8%

Jazz is Nekomis' uncle and I'm curious to see if Nekomis carries moorit as he hasn't been used until last fall. He was put over a good portion of my ewes. He has lovely conformation, nice horns and loads of breed type. If he carries moorit I'm hooked! :) I am either way. Those numbers are fantastic!

His fleece weighed in at 3.5 pounds unskirted. Here it is on my kitchen table.
Here it is rolled up and ready to be put back in the bag
Here is a close up of his fleece. I took the photos with my camera phone so not the greatest but you get the idea. I believe I will enter this at Jefferson this year in the fleece show. I think its amazingly fantastic.

A long time coming!

 It has been a long time. Too long in fact. We lost access to our farm website and ebonwald website when WEBS.COM was closed by VistaPrint. ...
