Breeding and Sales

Young Rams

Yearling rams born spring 2010

This yearling ram, photographed on a warm sunny day in July 2011, is ready to go to a new home any time, either individually, as part of a starter flock, or as part of a small bachelor flock. We of course can run calculations to determine whether Norwich would make a good match for your existing ewe flock.

Soay Ram Norwich

Norwich has the classic coloring and conformation of the British Soay in North America: long legs, thick round horns, and an elegantly narrow face.


Ram lambs born spring 2011

If you are in the market for a ram lamb to breed later this fall or to raise up in your own style for later breeding, you can take either of these lads whenever you like. Photographed in early July at just under three months of age, both of them should make excellent flocksires and we will of course check to be sure they are a good genetic match for your ewes.

Thornhill, a twin, is a sturdy young ram with shapely horn growth so far. His mother is a tan carrier so Thornhill may also carry tan.
