So far we have 9 RBST ewe lambs and 11 RBST ewe rams, plus about a dozen beautiful tan, mahogany, and medium reddish American/British lambs, quite a stunning group. We should have both RBST lambs and yearlings but we will not know precisely which RBST animals are for sale until lambing is complete and Steve can asses what we need to keep for the conservation breeding rotation and what we will sell. There is a fuller description of the types of Soay we have for sale on our farm website (www.saltmarshranch.com) and I plan to add a lot of pictures showing the various types as soon as I can get the lambs to slow down a bit and the rain stops. I'll keep you posted as we finalize what's for sale. Meanwhile, thanks for your nice comments. Hi Elayne, We are a little more than half way through lambing.

Keep me in mind for RBST lambs or yearling, I haven't heard from Kathie about what she will have, for the time I'm just ooooing and ahhhing. Happy Lambing, Elayne I love this section, for those of us who are never there when the delivery actually happens thank you so much I was laughing and enjoying the wonder of it all.
